Our statistics show that you really liked our recent list of unusual and creative t-shirts, so we had no choice but to publish another collection of really interactive shirts - this time from Japan.
"Incorporating the interactivity, the mundanity, and the sense of fun, Japanese designer-duo Noto-Fusai (SHIKISAI) is trying to explore the alternative possibilities of t-shirt design, through the use of black print on white surface.
Water comes out of faucet. the loose shoe lace you tie and untie. Very much an everyday situation, ought to be far from things like art / product design / fashion design. But once it is played on the stage of "white t-shirt" starring "black print", it leaps high up to art / product design / fashion design. Scenario is not difficult at all. Very naturally the collection communicates you the designers' intent, excitement and sense of fun."
