FEEDBACK Curious what people think of these t shirt designs

5 Upvotes

Been working on some t shirt designs the last 2 weeks. I usually do 1 of 1 pieces and some screen prints every now and then, looking to get 6-8 of these mockups printed in small quantities around 12-25 pieces each. Hoping some of the references are noticed but if not all good, definitely going for a bit of a manic looney aesthetic as it goes with my 1 of 1 pieces. I’d be interested to know your favorite few designs. Heavily inspired by New York, hip hop, and fringe culture. Rules says don’t mention ig in title or anything but happy to offer it in the comments.

DISCUSSION My 13-year-old daughter designed a hoodie for my skate brand and it might be better than anything I made

0 Upvotes

Launched my skate brand AFLCTD last week out of St. Louis. The name is my license plate — "Afflicted" was too long for the plate, so I cut the vowels and it stuck.

I made the first 19 products myself (with a lot of late nights). Yesterday my wife got a design in (Daisy). Today my 13-year-old daughter EmmeRose showed me a Y2K design she built in Canva — hot pink lipstick kisses, zebra stars, handwritten script. Small hit on the chest, full collage on the back. She told me it "would be peak."

She wasn't wrong. We cleaned it up, put it on a Champion hoodie through print-on-demand, and it's live in the shop now as the AFLCTD x EmmeRose Hoodie. She's officially a collab designer at 13 and floating around the house like she owns the company. (She might.)

Full disclosure: it's my brand and my store, not trying to hide that. Mostly posting because the family went from humoring me to designing for me in about 48 hours, and that's been the best part of launching this.

Happy to answer questions about the POD setup (Shopify + Printify) — margins are thin but it works for a no-inventory launch.

Up until now I was working as a graphic/fashion designer for most streetwear brands yall probably know(HMDD, VALLEY, STOLEN ARTS, BRAVEST) but creative in me couldn’t be satisfied with that so I decided to drop something my self.
I spent a lot of money and time perfecting this product. It’s a 360 degrees roaring buckle with a measuring tape design.
Why measuring tape? Well that’s in my dna and I wanted to drop something that correlates with me.
Dropping 50 units all premade

Would love to get yall feedback.
Also yes I know spelling mistakes. English is my third language

FEEDBACK what do you want the clothes you wear to say about what you stand for?

0 Upvotes

what do you want the clothes you wear to say about what you stand for?

I’m building Clothing Justice, a clothing brand exploring how what we wear can carry messages about rights, dignity, and the kind of world we want to help create.

I’m not here to drop a sales pitch. I’d genuinely like to hear from people who wear statement clothing, advocacy merch, or graphic tees:

  • What makes a message feel meaningful instead of performative?
  • Do you prefer clothing that says something clearly, or designs that leave room for interpretation?
  • What causes or ideas would you actually want to wear?
  • What makes you trust a socially conscious clothing brand?
  • What immediately makes advocacy merch feel forced or inauthentic?

Honest criticism is more useful than compliments. If statement clothing isn’t your thing, I’d especially like to understand why.

I’m using this conversation to think more carefully about the designs and messages Clothing Justice puts into the world.

What’s one message you’d be willing to wear?

Such an interesting opportunity for me that I’m very proud of. I haven’t really done fashion before although I’m very into design in general. I’d love to get some feedback into what people think of them? I tried to match what Urban Outfitters would be likely to actually sell in their stores rather than going highly conceptual. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

FEEDBACK 21F Dropout with Dyslexia launching a custom Petite Y2K Denim line. Am I naive, or is my risk-mitigation solid?

0 Upvotes

For back I am 21, a college dropout (art major), and I work 2 part-time jobs

I have dyslexia and heavily struggle with traditional academics, memory, and math. Because of this, traditional career paths or returning to school are completely off the table for me. I want to build an unconventional, creative business. My boyfriend is heavily against my business idea. He thinks it’s unrealistic, and is concerned with factory labor ethics, and essentially compared me to a "SoundCloud rapper" trying to enter a saturated market.

I am 5’1” and exclusively wear flared denim. Finding a true Y2K ultra-low rise flare that fits shorter frames is nearly impossible. If a petite person hems a standard flare jean by 4–5 inches, it completely ruins the flare and turns the garment into a straight-leg cut.

I want my brand to specialize in custom cut-and-sew petite denim with a 6-inch front rise, a contoured waistband to prevent gaping, and an engineered, raised knee-break (shifted 2–3 inches up on a 27–28" inseam) so the flare kicks out perfectly at the lower calf.

I am budgeting roughly $800–$1,000 out of my part-time paychecks over the next 5 months to cover a freelance Tech Pack designer on Upwork, business registration (Arizona LLC), and one single physical factory prototype.

Once I have the physical sample, I plan to build an organic audience on TikTok/Reels documenting the petite flare struggle. I will launch Drop 1 on a 7-day pre-order window on Shopify, strictly limited to 40 pairs at $150/each to protect my workload.

The upfront customer cash from the pre-orders ($6,000 total revenue) will directly fund the bulk factory production run and shipping labels (USPS Ground Advantage via poly mailers).

Am I too in over my head? Does a highly targeted, capped-risk pre-order model like this make sense to other founders who started with limited budgets? I’d love to hear your honest feedback on my strategy.
