Peacocking the Modern World

I’m really impressed with the releases at Threadless this week, and I think that AJ Dimarucot (aka collisiontheory) deserve an extra heaping of praise for his great design, the black/white one, called “Heaven and Earth“.

I hadn’t heard of Hawk Krall before, but anyone with a name that cool deserves a quick look at the very least, and the artist is from Philadelphia, so you know that I just had to post it. Gulaschbaron keep things limited, so there are 50 of these shirts available on their site, and I think you have 10ish days to put your order in (you can choose the tee/hoodie colour, which is nice) before they get printed off and shipped. 150 tees will also make their way to 10 specially chosen, though as yet unannounced, retail stores.

Considering I’ve never seen their site before, the whole lot is new to me, but Snakes and Suits released their latest line, and guess what? They have an ampersand design!

Snakes & Suits - Fall Line Out Now
We are proud to present our brand new Fall Line! We’ve been working for months

I was wondering to myself who I should finish the big celebrity marathon with, and decided that Avril Lavigne was probably the best choice since I still had a few pictures of her left, and because she has been such a frequent subject of celebrity posts in the past.

The “Little Miss VIP” tee at the top is by Public Library, and I’ve managed to find it on sale, but its a Japanese site, so your mileage may vary. In the gallery there is also a few pics of Avril wearing a “Boys Like Girls” hoodie, they’re a band, so I guess you’d only buy that if you liked the band. There’s also two fairly non-descript grey hoodies with little stars on (one hoodie with red stars, the other with blue), which I doubt is anything really special and similar items can be found in a lot of high street shops, a t-shirt that I can’t quite make out the wording on, and lastly there is a black and white hoodie from her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my sojourn into the world of celebrity blogging with a HYA slant, I enjoyed doing something a little bit different. Hopefully these posts will attract a whole new slew of readers who find the site through these celebrity posts, and then hopefully stick around for a little while and end up learning more about the wonderful world of independent clothing that is covered (… I still love that pun) on a daily basis here on Hide Your Arms.

Wondering why there are so many celebrity posts on HYA today? Look here for an explanation.

Like I said in my first Avril post of this Celebritee marathon, Avril Lavigne wears a lot of hoodies, so you can expect to see quite a bit more of her over the rest of the day, and she’ll probably be looking a tad annoyed to be photographed, as is her usual look. The purple hoodie is by Etnies judging by the text, but I’ve come up with nothing in terms of somewhere for you to actually buy it.

Avril Lavigne is definitely a friend of the hoodie, and I’ve featured her a lot on Hide Your Arms because of that, but usually in those posts she isn’t looking particularly happy (and you probably wouldn’t either with a camera lens in your face whenever you left the house), so its nice to see her actually smiling in a picture.

I’ve got no idea where the tiger print hoodie is from, but I’ve found with my previous Avril posts that her army of fans usually end up letting me know via the comments.

Britney Spears was a pretty frequent subject of previous celebrity postings, so it makes sense to kick the day off with her. This picture is actually from back when pretty much everything she did was described as being a “train wreck” but now that she’s now longer crazy I don’t feel quite as dirty posting about her. The green ribbon hoodie is by Primp, who Britters is frequently spotted wearing, but I’m afraid I can’t find it in stock anywhere.

Who would have though that such a cool clothing line could have come from Belgium? Well, it does and it is, check out the gallery for some great designs, especially that grey hoodie. Oh, and sorry guys, this one is for the ladies.

I don’t think you can order anything off their website, but they are carried at a long list of stockists all over Europe.

Me being down in France has meant that we’ve been spending quite a lot of time with some old favourite brands, eh guys?
