Marc Jacobs – Fashion Week 2007, New York

Marc Jacobs always claims he has no real ambition beyond making beautiful clothes for the moment, and because he demonstrates this on a fairly regular basis, we must assume his thinking is as simple as that.

Yet in his last three shows he has attempted to go beyond the temporal limits of the runway and give clothes the emotional charge of a film or a painting. Other designers create elaborate sets in which to project a mood or an atmosphere; Alexander McQueen and John Galliano come first to mind. But often you feel that the set exists mainly to get good pictures to coerce an emotion out of you that is not readily apparent in the clothes. It has no real value. ~ New York Times

Funny T-Shirts

Filed under: Designers, Fashion Design, Geek Fashion, Paid Reviews, Shopping by: Uptown Girl

The following is a paid review:

T-shirt line from One Night Stand Outfitters including vintage style t-shirts that range from stylish, to funny, and offensive.

They have a pretty cool selection of t-shirts. They’re also running a very cool contest where you can send in a picture of yourself wearing one of their t-shirts and they’ll enter you in their monthly drawing. Every month they’ll choose their favorite customer photo and the winner will receive a free t-shirt of their choice! That’s not bad – especially if you happen to be the winner, eh?

One Night Stand Outfitters have a good selection – but they also give you a preview of upcoming t-shirt designs and give you the option to sign up to be on their email notification list so that you’re notified anytime a new design goes on sale.

Looks like most of their T-Shirts go for $19.99 for both men’s and women’s t-shirts. I browsed through their collection – their sizes are Small, Medium and Large. Sorry gals – no XL shirts to be used for PJ’s – - or for that XL guy in your life.

Here’s a deal for ya: 20% OFF Purchases of $50 or Greater! Use coupon code: 9cymh2sv

They’re even hiring. Currently they are looking for T-Shirt designers, and female t-shirt models in Southern California and the Philadelphia areas.

Who’s behind the company? From their own website:

One Night Stand Outfitters had a simple beginning. After a few days of debauchery in Las Vegas, a few college buddies were drinking away the hangovers at a bar in Californnia. As they finished the latest round of Jager Bombs, a local walked into the bar wearing a simple t-shirt reading “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.” It was with this that One Night Stand Outfitters was born. The half-hammered guys wondered how such a phenomenally lame t-shirt could be printed and sold.

The guys set out to make great clothing for all occassions. Are the t-shirts offensive? Probably. Are the t-shirts funny? We think so. Should you buy one for your mother? Probably not.

All One Night Stand Outfitters t-shirts are made with American Apparel t-shirts, which are some of the highest quality, most comfortable t-shirts available anywhere.
