Houndstooth Olympics

SEC football isn't the only sport to have embraced houndstooth. I'll be tracking the houndstooth pattern during these next few weeks to see how it creeps up in winter athletic fashions. And from the archives: a stern Estonian coach in threatening houndstooth.

Your Houndstooth Valentine

Alyssa and Joslyn at Jane Joss have created this Valentine's Day plant for houndstooth lovers. It requires no soil and no water. It thrives on misery and tears.

McQueen Dead 1969 - 2010

After all those nasty things I said. Houndstooth can't even be talked about without some reference to McQueen. Fashion lovers and goths will be tolling the bells. He joins Mishima in the Elysium fields reserved for eccentric genius. Fashion has lost its cutting edge.

Houndstooth Virus by General Idea

One of General Idea's crests from the 1985 installation The Armory of the Miss General Idea Pavillion at the Art Gallery of Ontario. This crest is called "Houndstooth Virus". Glorious!!

L.A.M.B. PVC Houndstooth Bag

Trust L.A.M.B. to continue its houndstooth crusade with this shocker of an 80's retro stylings of a bag. Something you might have worn with your parachute pants while out shopping for Duran Duran records. The "acid" fading makes it look like it has been sitting on a trash heap since the 80s and only recently creatively repurposed with a seatbelt for a strap. $175 at ShopBop.

Taylor Momsen Houndstooth Reaper

Spotted, Taylor Momsen houndstoothing it on the set of Gossip Girl. Watch out little J, the grim reaper called and he wants his vestments back. You know you love me. XOXO.

Houndstooth Jesus

I guess sooner or later it was obvious that houndstooth fever would fuse with religious iconography to create some hyper-surreal imagery.

From the Speaking Tees website:

"The Baker Family introduces their own merchandise of creative Biblical imagery and symbolism for t-shirts. Yes, that might be a mouthful, but their intentions are to fill and uplift your spirit! Knowing that the Bible speaks to everyone differently, they have purposefully created Speaking Tees to speak to YOU!"

Hence the "Houndstooth Jesus" t-shirt below. Which essentially says to me... "Rasputin?".

Houndstooth Stamper

WTF! It's all I can muster. WTF!!!!! Why would you need a stamper that stamps houndstooth. Unless maybe you were tagging in the stairwell of Dover Street Market. Or leaving enigmatic clues on some grim trail of argento style bloody carnage. I could totally see a leather clad glove carrying this and a straight razor around on a crime spree. A slash and stamp. What would you possibly use this for!! And why would I feel so angry about it?!! Crap. No wonder the world is crumbling. When we invest all our ingenuity, effort, and materials into manufacturing things like this! And then provoking other people to waste time blogging about it!!!!

Sean Lewis Does Houndstooth

New York artist Sean Lewis dallying with houndstooth. Another example of an artist fascinated enough by the pattern to provocatively squeeze and mutilate it while seeking something more than its straightforward and insipid mathematics. Good work.
