On one of my jaunts around the web, I happened upon jewelry designers Alex + Chloe's site and found that they've grown big time and, in addition to jewelry, are now doing a line of t-shirts that are pretty hot.

You'll find both men's and women's tees -- mostly the same graphic in the same or different color ways on shirts cut for him and for her -- in black, white, with a few pink and other colors thrown in. It seems to be a trend now that most designers are sticking to mainly black and white tees as the core of their collections. While it may seem a bit dull, during these tight economic times, it's a wise move. Having done tees myself and having done an array of colors, the bulk of the orders (roughly 80%) are always for black and white.

I can't tell whether or not these tees are stock bodies or a design that Alex + Chloe made themselves, as I've not seen them in person. They do state that each "piece has been custom dyed, hand printed, and specially treated for softness. Variations in the color and texture of each shirt and print is normal. Please embrace the difference in these pieces for their own unique character." So be forewarned, but to me that just means they're much cooler than tees that have been factory-died only.

Check out the pics below and have a look for yourself at their web store. The graphics are simple and cool and priced at $52, they're more affordable than other tees of the same calibre.

One thing to note: in addition to their own line of tees, they carry an amazing selection of Alex B / Alexander Yamaguchui and Kenzo Minami tees. The Alexander Yamaguchi tees are all 20% off right now and, if you're a fan of Minami, listen up: his tees are a whopping 50% off and some are 70% off. That makes the retail $77 or $46, which you'll know is the bargain of the century. Get 'em while they last!
