Okay, I stumbled across this Italian brand, 5 Preview, by accident while surfing the web for a Chanel Logo T-Shirt. (I have a friend who finds the best vintage tees on e-bay but I am never that lucky or persistent enough to do online bidding.) 5 Preview started in 2008 and began the line with tailored white t-shirts inspired by iconic fashion design houses, like Chanel/YSL, and also classic characters from pop culture, like Mickey Mouse. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the label's use of my two favorite colors: white & black ala Coco Chanel.
These are some of my favorite tees:
5 Preview "CARTOON" T-Shirt $95
They also make Jewelry...
5 Preview Plexiglass "Fiftyfive" Necklace $55
And Tote Bags!
5 Preview Totebag WHAT $55 USD
I think I am in love! I just wish I knew how the t-shirts fit since they are unisex and pricey - I'd like to avoid having to make exchanges (and conversion rates, etc.) on international purchases! Also, do I have to be as tres chic as the model to rock these tees?
So I am trying as hard as possible to stop buying so much shit --- (I live in a tiny studio - that's undergoing a foreclosure sale right now. Economy. Ugh - and I can't afford much more clutter). I am not allowed to buy one of these tees until I really deserve it. For example, if I hit the gym 4 times this week (remember I am incredibly lethargic and it's raining outside) maybe I will pick one up. :)
