The best ‘What Lies Beneath’ T-shirt for summer …
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 7:38
Parinto, as always, have some very cool, very stylish T-shirts that are more like Roger Daltrey on a moped than a bunch of Kiwis working with casual clothing. It’s really weird, how uber-elegant their stuff is.
This year I’m particularly taken by the bird skull T-shirt by Henrietta Harris. She’s Auckland-based and her work has appeared all over the shop, including Amnesty International and Flying Nun Records. The men’s T-shirt comes in white or yellow, and usually I’d go for the white, but I’ve got to say that the yellow is impressive, perhaps because the extremely detailed overprinting is not black, but a nice tomato red colour which gives less contrast and more subtlety.
Not everybody likes wearing images of dead things on their front – a position which I respect without understanding it, in which case there are probably other Parinto teeshirts that would suit you better, but I’d suggest that the sheer style of this T-shirt could overcome your squeamishness if you stick with it for a day or so. Seriously, before you know it you’ll be living in a loft with a blonde translator and drinking Italian coffee in bed.
