Blake is the New Pink

You’ve gotta love a company with a moniker like Blake Hamster. Besides the cute-as-a-tiny-rodent name, the company is actually a group art project, not just another fashion label:

Blake Hamster is a collaborative effort by a loose network of designers, artists, marketeers, journalists, authors and musicians from all over the world. It is their aim to experiment with different products, production processes and distribution models while upholding a set of aesthetic and ethic ground rules.

A Blake Hamster release may take on many forms. This time it is a range of shirts, next time it could be anything from sweaters to a collection of household wares with a stylish twist, to a magazine or an art-show.

Check out their limited edition 80’s rocker-inspired shirts, which are sweatshop-free, made from 100% organic cotton and printed with non-toxic water-based dyes.
