Paste "Stolen" T-shirt

Spotted at the Young Designers Market in NYC, Jason Laurits' awesome t-shirt line Paste can now be found at Shine. These tees are a cool departure from the ubiquitous and over-populated ironic pomo tee-blather that somehow still continues to multiply like Gremlins. Paste uses both silkscreen and foil on enzyme-washed tees with the perfect vintage cut and feel. All t-shirts are made in the USA and are hand-printed in Brooklyn, New York.

About the designer: (From Refinery 29) "Seems like only last week we were griping about a certain downtown designer who was attempting to make a name for himself with such lovely T-shirts as "Obama is my slave" and "Obama = Hitler". Oh wait. It was last week. With publicity like that, it's no surprise, then, that one T-shirt designer, Jason Laurits, singer, turned model, turned clothesmaker is steadfastly plotting the demise of his competitors in what he has dubbed, "the hipster, graphic T-shirt arms race." When he isn't editing his ready-to-wear collection, Plaster, Laurits is hard at work silk-screening his graphic T-shirt collection, Paste. By imbuing his prints with a little less asshole and a little more narrative, he dodges the current trend in graphic snark. "The Stolen" T-shirt's foil-printed jewels hearken to the true history of our gentrifying spaces."
