Ceci n'est pas une t-shirt company

[leonk]

Hey everyone,

long time reader, first time poster on SF. Huge fan of the forums.

Just wanted to share my new label Venn Regalia with you and possibly get some feedback as I do respect your opinions.

A bit about the ideology:

Venn Regalia is what we're calling this new clothing company. Primarily shirts at first.Think Hedi Slimane & Vivienne Westwood having a bastard child together, it'd surely be born wearing VR. It's basically apparel for the art-driven & monarch-minded.

Venn - Two separate opposing ideas co-existing in complete harmony, overlapping to create an original expression.

Regalia - The ceremonial emblems & garments of royalty.

With each season we bring two lines, the Classic being the timeless, constant vision of Venn Regalia harnessed into logo-centric designs, while the Exclusive is much more art-focused, and inventive from year to year.

Talk about misrepresenting a product. I think you're getting way ahead of yourselves. You guys print incohesive graphic artwork onto stock t-shirts. What's with all the romantic imagery and posturing?

Hedi Slimane is gay, he would never procreate, so let's stop there.

[leonk]

wowza, it's about selling an image, not a product. anyone can make a shirt true? but not anyone can create the art we do. try being an asshole harder. real feedback, not .gifs. idiot.

[madapaka]

i can always appreciate people's hard work that goes into starting a clothing company..

but i honestly don't see how people can't create the "art that you do."

that's the kind of thing i'd expect to read on a tag from a shirt from urban outfitters so if that is what you we're aiming for you did a good job i don't think this forum is the right crowd to sell to.

[Desi]

can't form a boner over some tees dude. You planning on being the next supreme? Post a real collection, get a real critique.

[fobsquad]

seems like you're marketing to those of mediterranean ethnicity. ill b leaving now

[OkayOkay]

cool graphic tees bro....this thread has potential.

[sawyer]

It's bad enough this is a graphic tee "label", but even the part where you could have been original, you just copy+pasted public domain iconography (Eiffel Tower, cassette tapes, razors, heart, etc). It's pretty incoherent and I'm not sure what kind of message it conveys. Maybe it'll be a hit with Parisian wrist-cutters?

[Layne]

OkayOkay, how long did it take to find those images? Funny shit though.

And I agree, this thread has serious potential.

[Scais]

what are your models looking at?

[thomas_collins]

Wow - how earnestly you are trying to rationalize your terrible name choice and "ideology" has made me really sad. I do not honestly understand how you can think any of this is a good idea.

[HBlack]

that's the silliest photoshoot

[OkayOkay]

OkayOkay, how long did it take to find those images?

It took me substantially longer to upload and copy/paste them into the reply window than find them.

this. the tees are tacky as hell

'art-driven & monarch-minded'?

[mrchariybrown]

OP made me laugh pretty hard +rep

[16steps]

posting in epic thread

also, can we acknowledge the artfullness of the photoshoot?

definitely for the monarch-minded

man, thank you. that's exactly the kind of critique i was looking for. just an honest, "here's what you do, here's what i think" kind of thing. thank you, seriously.

i wasn't trying to be a dick to the other guy, like all art, it's your baby you understand. i love this forum and figured some may like the idea behind it anyway.

It was kinda a rhetorical question. All those shirts look like they were inspired by a Google image search.

[okonomi]

Venn Regalia is the neo-pop take on apparel through roots embedded in avant-garde punk.

I can totally see that.

[Denton]

if i were hedi slimane or vivienne westwood i'd be really offended right now

[BearCousin]

[Spastic_Koala]

Poor guy's sufu fashun launch didn't go as planned.

[broneck]

this thread's funny haha. i like it.

[mpc60]

god, this guy is french:D After DSk and nafissatou diallo, Leonk & Venn Regalia now, hard to be a French:mad:

[haploid]

i rlly hate the font u used

i would be amused if a single person paid 30 dollars for one of these tee shirts

[okonomi]

I still can't work out what the fuck this guy meant by monarch-minded.
