There is nothing like a geometric print to get you in the mood. Part of the inspiration for the Spring 2010 collection, a California Native, Mary Meyer stems from the idea of "visual interpretation" infusing common sayings such as "High on Love" with her classic tribal prints to create symbols to symbolize those phrases. Not to be confused, each item comes with a decoder hang tag, just in case you forget what your cool new tee means in layman's terms.
Known for using over-sized silhouettes such as the "Biggie" (over-sized t-shirt) or wide harem pants, Mary's inspiration comes from "African textiles, Japanese dye techniques, quilts, pop art, the beach, wheat pasted punk fliers, and 80’s graphic tees."
While Mary has since moved from California to Brooklyn, she has founded a non-profit after school program called The Step Right Up Program for New York City public schools that writes and produces plays with/for students. How sweet is that, that's something we like, giving back.
