Paste Tshirts from Brooklyn, NYC

Posted on | May 8, 2008 | 2 Comments

Paste, Jason Laurits’s graphic t-shirt line, associates itself not only with indie fashion, but with art, culture, and humor. Paste uses both silkscreen and foil on enzyme-washed tees with the perfect vintage cut and feel. All t-shirts are made in the USA and hand-printed in Brooklyn, New York.

A bit about the history of Jason and the brand:

While pursuing a career in music in his early 20s, Jason Laurits taught himself how to silkscreen for posters and t-shirts to promote his shows around NYC. His music, a mixture of rock and electronica, eventually took him to London where, to help fund his recordings, he used silkscreen to create one-of-a-kind t-shirts and successfully sold them at indie fashion markets.

Eventually deciding to take a break from music, Laurits returned to NYC and attended the new school for writing, During this time he continued to sell his silkscreened tees, slowly growing a fan base. By the time he finished school the now-name line, plaster, was doing well enough for Laurits to put all his energy into developing it further. Soon, Plaster unfolded into a full contemporary men’s line.

As the focus for Plaster began to stray away from silkscreens altogether, Laurits started a new line, Paste, devoted to graphic tees. With the indie, abstract, cooler-than-thou tshirt market becoming oversaturated, Laurits decided Paste would take itself less seriously, be a little more fun(nier), and priced at a more moderate level for artistic tees.

Currently, both Plaster and Paste have made it into progressive boutiques across the USA, as well as Japan, with the European market on the horizon.

    [...] This past Saturday, art and jewelry lovers alike gathered at the Cedar Lake performance space for the most creative and energetic party I have been to in awhile… The Metal Ball! RoseLee Goldberg, the founder of Performa (the first non-for-profit performance art foundation) hosted this amazing event, cocktails compliments of Campari to raise money for her organization.  This also marked the closing of the pop-up store organized by the beautiful Yvette Tang which set up shop in the lower level of Issey Miyake’s TriBeCa store, selling designs from Tuleste Market,  Audrey Werner, Darcy Miro, Nun, Deka Ray, Digby and Iona, Dahl by Alison Kelly, Bario-Neal, Prismera, Made By Eugene and t-shirt designs from Brooklynite Jason Laurits.
