Designs

Mainstream isn’t really our thing. Our designs are sometimes odd, often nonsense, usually ironic, cheeky-clever, or socially critical – even subversive. Or just funny. At least, we think so. Because: “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about it.” (Oscar Wilde)

Parasitic

Yes, you could say our iron-ons cling to fabrics like ideological ticks, feeding off them – even rewriting their stories. Mass-market fashion becomes the clueless host. Your old t-shirt? A new host body! No brand is sacred (unless the fabric says “no heat”), and we don’t ask for permission.

Sustainable

Nope, our iron-ons aren’t biodegradable, and no, they’re not made from ground apple seeds. But we do believe there’s something deeply sustainable about giving old clothes a second life – and loving them again instead of tossing them out and buying new ones. So yeah, with a clear conscience we say: Pimp your old clothes – it’s environmentally friendly!

Collaborations

What’s better than working with people you respect and who share your values? Sure – holidays, sex, drugs & rock’n’roll, maybe not working at all. Could be. But that’s not the point (and the question was rhetorical anyway). Point is: we’re into collabs – with emerging, established, and positive-minded creatives. If that’s you, drop us a line.

PHOTOSHOPLIFTING. GREAT GRAPHIC GOODS.

Iron it like you mean it

Our iron-ons are DIY made dead simple. All you need is a regular household iron. They stick best to cotton and denim, but also get along with iron-friendly materials like blends, linen, leather & others. Make sure to do a quick print & wash test with fancy high-tech fabrics. Heat and dye shifts are wildcards. Not happy because you skipped the test? Sorry, not a valid reason for complaint. As a rule of thumb: If you can iron it, you can photoshoplift it.

Your old t-shirt? A new host body!

PHOTOSHOPLIFTING questions conventional logics of production and authorship in textile design by re-coding existing garments through parasitic strategies.
