Monday 5th October: you lazy oaf












Lay Oaf  launched their new collection and fanzine at an exhibition at the Old Shoredtich Station last Thurs in true colour cute crazy style.  The team gave the venue an Oaf make-over with black illustrations across the walls, paintings on the mirrors, collages in frames, glittery wrestling men and gems in the window to complement the new "Special" screen print.  The Super Ted wallpaper portrait here is a scan from the Fanzine/look book shot by  Bella Howard of another new style called "Rosy Bear" designed by Rosy Nichols . 
The theme of the Oaf's inaugural "Amazine" is dedicated to collections and features still-life set ups of different contributors kitsch collections.  The cover's curiosities belong to Gemma Oaf whose house also provided the backdrop and props for Bella's shoot.  My personal favourite looks from this season are the Burger sweater & beenie hat, All Hands Can Play T-shirt, Tuxedo and Cat scarves.  If you can't make it down to the shop just head to the online one which is a bevvy of beaming faces on more essential non-essentials from Bumper Sticker packs to Cleptomanicx Boxer shorts to I LOVE MJ badges.............

Thanks to Rosy for the couple of wool snaps here from documenting the process of her spectrum thread rainbows that connect the space down at the installation........
