New Brand Alert: Eleven Paris

We’ve added a new brand to our inventory for this Fall, hailing all the way from Paris, Eleven Paris is an Internationally recognized brand founded in 2003 by two friends. The brand combines minimalist and contemporary aesthetics with humorous and fun pop-culture/music references. It’s a brand that can suit anyone, having minimal outfit-finishing pieces like sweaters, coats, and accessories within the mix of their silk screen graphic tees. Here’s a quick look at our first delivery from Eleven Paris:

Albert M V-Neck

Here’s one of the more famous designs from Eleven Paris featuring Albert Einstein rockin’ their infamous finger mustache with the saying, “Life is a Joke” underneath the photo. Eleven Paris is well-known for featuring all kinds of pop culture and music icons in this pose. 
Tarental Tee

Here is an allover-print piece dubbed the Tarental Tee. With a monochromatic US Flag as the backdrop, across the bottom front of the shirt is what appears to be a parental advisory label, instead reading, “Work Hard, Play Hard, Eleven Paris.”
Higy Tee

Playing on both the minimalist and pop-culture sides of their line is the Higy Tee (No that’s not a typ-o). This ultra soft black cotton tee features a simple black woven label at the front left hem of the shirt with the back done in a sports jersey manor with Biggie across the shoulders and “97″ as the number. 
Sacage Tee

This Sacage tee (again no typ-o) features a shoulder-to-hem image of a woman wearing a black ski mask while in her birthday suit with the word “Savage” running across her eyes inside a black box.

Above are just a few of the pieces we have in stock from Eleven Paris. I left a little surprise on our web store for you hip-hop fans too. Be sure to check out the entire first delivery here, and let us know what you’re picking up in the comments below.

This Pocket Flag Tee features another one of Pink Dolphin’s popular logos on the front left chest. On the back is a unique set of the brand’s initials with an abstract mountain scenery in the center of the “P” all the while still staying true to Pink Dolphin’s signature color blocking.
Jumbo P Tee

The Jumbo P t-shirt features a Saloon-esque P on the front, this time with the shirt having a black woven label on the bottom hem and a blue graphic on the back centered in the shoulders that matches the color in the bottom of the “P”.

In Memory of Marilyn Monroe

August 5, 1962 is the day remembered as the date of world renowned model, actress, singer, and film producer, Marilyn Monroe’s tragic passing. Still to this day Monroe is recognized as one of the most influential pop and cultural icons in the world. Her acting career started when 20th Century Fox executive, Ben Lyon had heard about her (already) successful modeling career, and offered Monroe a six-month contract. At the time she was still going by her legal name, Norma Jean, but Lyon and her decided on Marilyn Monroe after tossing around multiple stage name ideas for the upcoming star. Shortly following, Monroe’s career was propelled into stardom and fame for the rest of her life, covering various magazine covers and portraying famous roles on the big screen.

From famous movies in the 1950′s to countless magazine covers and famous photo shoots, the female icon is always remembered, and her image alone is recognized through all kinds of merchandise worldwide. Although her legacy and countless pieces of work is recognized and celebrated everywhere in the world, her memorial is something to remember Monroe by, not in the way she passed, but what she left behind, and her work will continue to live on for generations to come.

Breeze Tee

Here we have a t-shirt in Monroe’s honor, featuring a graphic image of one of the most famous and iconic photos of Ms. Monroe. This was taken at her signing/handprint ceremony in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
Faces Tee

This “Faces” tee is another pick of mine, featuring three different photos of Marilyn. Underneath the photos, reads one of Monroe’s famous quotes. “A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, & leaves before she is left.”
Beach Tee

This “Beach” Tee features a graphic image of Marilyn Monroe’s early modeling career, when she still had her natural hair color before her film career started.

This Varsity Shark Backpack features a chenille shark face similar to that logo material on your letterman jacket with somewhat of a militant look like a B-52 Bomber plane. Features a large zipped inner pocket as well as a sleeve for that new laptop you just got for school.

Featuring very detailed imagery of an array of gold jewelry from “rolex style” watches, diamond encrusted Jesus-piece pendants, and thick gold Cuban link chains.
