So this isn’t our giveaway, but when it showed up in my Twitter feed I got so excited I had to tell everyone. Blood Is The New Black, Fashion Indie friend and host to tees from a ton of my favorite designers and artists is hosting a giveaway! All you have to do is repost this tweet, and follow them to enter!! How easy is that? Follow BloodyBlack on Twitter!

Love shredded tees but too afraid/untalented/lazy to make one yourself? Tatiana and the crew at Supadupa Vintage are recycling old tshirts to create AMAZING (and even more amazingly affordable) shredded tees, available online, and at Wasteland and Virgo Boutique.  Like any of my new found best friends, I discovered these lovely people on the internet (Myspace actually, okay don’t make fun of me), and ever since they have been picking up SERIOUS steam. We’ve been lucky enough to get a couple of their Kukoon tees for a giveaway, one of which is the same seen on Kim Kardashian!

Before I leak the details to the giveaway, check out what SDVTG is all about!

–

FASHIONINDIE: How’d you turn your DIY addiction into a business?

SDVTG: I washed a vintage t shirt that had a couple holes in them and it looked pretty neat! some of the holes made like this shredding effect and i decided to go about it there! and made a beautiful long shredded tunic for myself! I cannot say the “secret” on how to do it but I just decided to take my shirt out a night out of town and everyone loved it including my friends so that’s when I thought well why not make some to sell and let it be part of Supadupa Vintage’s first design collection, since it was just an Ebay store! and that’s how it came about

FI: How’d you come up with the idea for these one of a kind, recycled and distressed tees?

SDVTG: Pretty much since our store is all about re-selling vintage pieces that are reconstructed or just an amazing vintage piece! I decided that why not instead of using new tees make them all with recycled vintage tees! And it is the same concept and well i guess you can say its an eco-friendly line with an edge.

FI: Do you do all the custom shredding yourself? (how on earth long does that take?!)

SDVTG: Yes and no!  I have a couple of interns who help me out! Its a bit hard right now just because I made the recent move to Arizona because I’m finishing up my degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design but If I sometimes dont have help then I need to do as much as I can on my own, which is pretty difficult. One shirt usually takes about 2 hours depending on the style! sometimes I can only do 3 in one day! so it take a lot of dedication and passion! and it’s what i truly love to do!

SDVTG: Yes it did! since we are kinda starting on this collection we are trying to find better, vintage softer tees to make the shredding look more perfected and clean! We are also trying to take our time on each piece just because when you make the t shirt tooo fast the shredding effect doesnt come out as nicely! (too many holes) and you dont want that! I would say it is taking us quite a bit to perfect! But I know we will get better at it and find more tees that can work for us
I just learned “the secret” and thats it.
