Sex, Drugs & Hip-Hop. Fine art. Comfort. These all play a role in the development of Plain Gravy’s Holiday 2008 collections. On comfort, we find some excellent sweatpants, crews and hoodies. Everything is in the details. Fine art? The above t-shirt, inspired, by Kandinsky is a clear winner. Too Short represents on one t-shirt, a nicely rendered vagina on another. All this is available now at Digital Gravel, along with caps, jackets and a small set of accessories.

The line is ambitious, in that a great number of references are employed from disperate fields. That being said, a good number of garments tie well together. The sweat suits match well with the leather cap, a golden era look. And, there is something refreshing about graphics driven by multiple influences.

King Stampede are veritable kings of the fitted cap. Material choice, embroidery technique, use of both bold and subtle graphic. They do it all, and do it consitently. The second drop of Fall 2008 keeps the push going, as a number of silhouettes and materials fold nicely into the line.

Along with the fitteds two nice cut and sew sweatshirts have also released. A crew neck and a hoodie. Both tastes met with minimal fan fare. The pieces are kept simple and as such neither wow nor bore.

All this out now at Boundless NY.
