I-Travel Limited Edition T-shirt Collection

nylon
We asked the following 5 T-shirt companies the following question, "What does YOUR CITY mean to you?" and to design a T-shirt based on their interpretation.

The following is what we received in return.

New York • Rat Race

by doug jaeger with K.S • dooker.com

 
Filled with survivors. Tall, dark, handsome and humble. Has a gravity all it’s own. No matter how high you climb, there’s still further to go. This design remembers history and acknowledges our destiny. Hand silk-screened with discharge ink. The white is impregnated with glow-in-the-dark pigment to show the skyscraper images in the dark.

Los Angeles • Ecotone

by momimomi.com
 
e·co·tone n. A transitional zone between two communities containing the characteristic species of each.

Like actors picked for the wrong scene, we used to live in Bel-Air. Posh, quiet, well-groomed Bel-Air. We were rental scavengers and the friction between our lifestyle and surroundings was always apparent. Not so dissimilar from the glowing-eyed wild coyote, equally scary and scared, who would show up at our courtyard entrance - reminding Bel-Air that it still coexisted with natural worlds that preceded it, and suggesting itself to us as Los Angeles' most unsung mascot.

San Francisco • Westward

by Nick • imaginaryfoundation.com
 
Timothy Leary had a theory that the edge of culture is moving westward, from China to Western Europe, to the new world and now, the westcoast.
Sometimes on a Sunday evening I’ll stand on a hillside in San Francisco and look westward to the pacific and beyond. It’s then, in the numinous glow of magic hour, I can see the soul of San Francisco twinkle.

Chicago • Mi Casa, Su Casa

brightonparkpress.com
 
The color blue, bungalow-style architecture, and concentric circles convey Chicago’s relationship to and far-reaching influence in Architecture, Blues, and House music. “Mi casa es su casa” is a diversified extension of Midwestern hospitality; the focus on “House” is no accident as Chicago is the place we reside and call home.

Miami • Miami

Empire State • empirestatenyc.com
 
Japanese wood block printing, J.Lo and her hips, Sherman, the color blue, the smell of salt water, and
the way that same water feels drying on your skin.
Oh, and coconut oil. And girls glistening with it.
The results will be published at NylonMag.com
