New from Social Suicide by Josh Rubin
Favorite fashion activists Social Suicide (originally shown here) have been hard at work on a few new additions to their line. Most noteworthy are Shark (above left, click to zoom) and Tat2 (above right, click to zoom). A gray woolen flannel suit with subtle pink gills on either side, Shark is cunning, gorgeous and a bit more understated than some of their earlier concepts. Tat2, an item that definitely belongs on Needled, is a bespoke suit with an embroidered recreation of your own tattoos in the same size, color and placement as the real thing. If you want one made you'll have to head to their bell tower studio in London's Shoreditch for a photo session of your tats, selection of materials and recording of measurements.
