There are over 70 countries in the world that punish homosexuality by law. In 7 countries homosexual acts are punished by death. This is a very sad fact and a reminder that there is still so much work to do in terms of human rights, discrimination and education.

Sometimes less is more. That’s probably what TV host Joko Winterscheidt thought to himself when he designed the T-Shirt for the new AXE Black with his label German Garment. The result couldn’t be more minimalistic, timeless and understated: A clean-cut, simply black T-Shirt. Joko Says about the shirt: “For me understatement means to focus on the basics. Fashion should underline the personality, not cover it up. With our version of the black shirt you are showing style without exaggeration.” The AXE BLACK SHIRT will be available in a limited edition starting on April 1, 2015. If you buy three products from the new AXE Black line you can order one of these shirts for free.
To celebrate the launch of this collaboration Joko and AXE got together with our fellow bloggers from Dandy Diary to organize an exclusive release party here in Berlin this Tuesday, on March 31, 2015. The Dandy boys will be DJing along with Quid Haden and there is going to be a secret main act that we really had to swear to keep secret, but I can tell you that much, it’s a BIG deal. We have a pair of tickets for you to win after the jump!

Today I made the effort off digging through all 65 pages (!) of t-shirt designs that were submitted to the Boss Orange creative challenge so far. People were asked to submit their parrot inspired designs and they can still do so until the end of April to win a meet and great with the design team of Boss Orange and have their design become part of next year’s summer collection.
While I was flipping through all the submissions I found basically everything from cool, to dull, to horrible and I was actually almost considering posting the worst designs, but that would just be mean. So I stick to my favorites that you can see above and even more after the jump. But what I noticed is that the contestants took the inspiration quite literal using parrots (often even the one from the flyer) or feathers in their designs. A lot of people used the color orange probably assuming that Boss Orange means all their clothes are orange. (Orange is a terrible color for fashion!!) The contest guidelines said: Be inspired by a parrot, not use a fucking parrot, like 99% of the people did. That’s not exactly creative, no? That’s probably why I like the horse with roses because it’s NOT a parrot, haha!
If you think you can be a bit more creative than that, go submit your design or vote for your favorit t-shirt here.

If you have always dreamed to once design a garment for one if not the biggest fashion house of the country (and who hasn’t) then your dream might come true just now. Boss Orange – the young urban line of Hugo Boss – is calling for all creatives to design a T-Shirt for next year’s summer collection. The inspiration for the design is the colorful parrot which is an element in this year’s collection. Are eye patches and black pirate hats too, I wonder? The winner will get the chance to meet the creative team of Boss Orange to finalize the design until it then becomes a special edition of the official line for summer 2011. Contestants can submit their designs until April 30th, 2010 to a dedicated fanpage on Facebook. You can vote for the submitted designs until May 1st, 2010. How clever they all are with their social media integration and all that!
For your inspiration (and to distract ourselves from more important tasks) we flicked through a seemingly endless amount of parrot photos and have collected some fancy shots for you that you will find after the jump along with the flyer of the competition. There is also a parrot on that one, naturally.

To have a little break between the fancy dresses of our Fashion Week recap I would like to give you something solid today. I saw these bold print shirts in a store in Hamburg and then again on some people in Berlin, so it was time to find out where they are from. The answer was simple, close and not surprising: Berlin. Violent Elegance prove that simple shapes and colors often are the coolest look.
After the jump you can win a T-Shirt by Violent Elegance.

While the temperatures are climbing the layers of clothes on our bodies are getting fewer. When I was browsing through my stack of T-shirts this weekend I noticed that there are so many of them I’m just bored with. It’s time for something new! And this is where the new summer collection of Berlin based label and shop Silberfischer comes in. While embroidery is still their specialty they now also have a range of graphic print shirts. If you like their stuff you can use our exclusive iHeartBerlin code “IHEARTSF15” to get a 15% rebate* in their online shop and store at Oderberger Strasse. More shirts and designs after the jump.
