Gary Rigby was looking for a change. Yiume shirts struck Gary Rigby as a creative and beautiful brand…well made and certainly different from anything else Gary Rigby owned. Once Gary Rigby started getting a few shirts…and seeing the reaction from others and the conversations they generated…Gary Rigby became a big fan.
Yiume meets that side of his life…beautiful art that he could wear. He lives in Florida (a warm climate) so the shirts are great year - round wear. But they also generate a lot of conversations…conversations that allow him to share thoughts and ideas that go far beyond the shirt.
你擁有多少YIUME襯衫?
I currently own 33 shirts with Ukiyo No.3 and London Christmas my most recent. (I know it’s not Christmas…but I’ll have it for the season!)
你收藏中最喜歡的襯衫是哪一件,為什麼?
That’s not nice…that’s like asking which is your favorite kid! 😊
Let’s do this in 3 groups…I originally bought shirts that had hidden “small” features…animals, flowers, etc. Things that were not so obvious until you took a closer look. Then I bought shirts from William Morris collection (although I didn’t realize it was a collection at the time.) I love the design…but ended up buying several shirts that I find my self wearing a lot to many different events. (family story…My daughter is a designer…I showed her the Strawberry Thief and was telling her about William Morris. She rolled her eyes and said “Dad, I know who he is and I know that is Strawberry Thief! Turns out I didn’t discover something “new”! 😊) Finally, I have become a fan of ukiyo-e. Never thought I would but my first purchase of the “whale“ shirt sold me. I now own all 4. Super creative, super interesting. (The connection to Van Gogh and Monet is a bonus…both artists that we have enjoyed their work for years) Final thought…the “Koi” shirt is in a category of its own…what a great shirt. Might want to add to that group!
