We all spent ages coming up with a variety of names and then chucked them all together, if any of us weren’t happy with a name we got rid of it until we were left with a very short list.
We decided Reckless Hero best captured the themes and styles of the work.
This week we have a cool UK based brand whose aim is to promote independent designers.
Their submission process is easy to follow and any designer can submit a design for consideration.
The garments they use for printing are also ethically sourced, so there is no need to worry about the conditions in which the garments were made
All the tees featured are hip hop influenced. This gives the site an edge over a lot of the daily/weekly tees sites as they cover geek/pop culture and a lot of these sites have fallen by the wayside as they have not chosen to be different unlike Patrick’s site
This week we have 8 Bit, a brand that is more tech culture than apparel. 8 Bit hail from Ireland and are the latest cool brand to come out of Dublin. Their influences are obvious and I think their designs are unstated yet have a premium quality feel about them.
This time we have a brand born out of London, United Kingdom, a brand that has put some thought in their back story and have just launched their new website. I am talking about Mayamada. A cool new brand that I feel will be going places, who as a brand are already trying to be totally different from other apparel brands that you will see on line.
This week we have UK based brand Thunder Apparel Already an established brand who a huge following.The usual indicators for exactly what people think of a brand is social media indicators such as Facebook, Twitter and Instragram.
