Bird Brain

Hand-made Birds Tees

Birds are big news in fashion these days.

The trick, of course, is to find a way to follow the trend without, you know, following the flock.

The best solution? Ambriel Floyd’s beautiful handmade Birds Tees. Ethereal, original, and totally wearable, the lovely shirts seem to have been born at the intersection of art and fashion. The cut is flattering on just about any figure (from zaftig to prepubescent twig), and the lightness of the material makes them perfect for warm weather or for nonbulky layering on chillier days. Ambriel, a New York-based artist, dyes and hand-prints every shirt, so each is a one-of-a-kind.

A delightful way to get in on the bird craze without being a slave to fashion.

It’s a fine line, after all.
