I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything new on the blog but I promise you it’s all in good reason- these last few months have been solely dedicated to revamping the brand and I am finally at a point where I am ready to present it to you all.  In fact, the first opportunity is for those of you who are in (or will be in) the Los Angeles area…next weekend TEM will be debuting all of the new product exclusively at UNIQUE LA’s 5th Annual Spring Show.

What is UNIQUE LA you ask?  Well, it happens to be the largest independent design show in the country that is curated specifically with MADE-IN-AMERICA goods directly from over 350 designers and artists, and I am so thrilled to be amongst this community!

In preparation for this two day event I am producing a limited amount of goods to be sold exclusively at UNIQUE LA and I can’t wait to share them with you!  

I hope to see as many of you there as possible!  For more information on the event click here.

New Product Alert: The Essential Tee

I just released my first product of the year and I can honestly say that it is only a small indication of what’s to come from TEM in 2013.  Just stay tuned and I will try to follow up more regularly.  But for now I would like to direct your attention to the new ‘Essential’ Tee that I released this past Friday.

It was made and printed right here in Los Angeles (🇺🇸) from my original pattern using a super-soft combed ringspun cotton and it is slim-fitting.  I didn’t over-think this one during the design process, and you shouldn’t over-think it when you wear it.  The ‘Essential’ Tee is a versatile no-brainer.  Hope you enjoy!

Not quite the Mackintosh I’ve been dreaming about, but this will definitely suffice for now.

A special thank you to the beautiful people of SUSPEND Magazine for blessing me with the opportunity to be featured in their ISSUE 03 as well as providing me with the platform to display some of my TEM garments, which will be available sometime in the near future.

The best has yet to come.

A special thank you to my friend and longtime supporter Chris (Seth Brundle) and Look Book LA for the consideration…I was very happy to be apart of this project and represent the city I love so much.

Side note: That cap will be available this Spring.

Meet Sir Charles, the barber…he’s been cutting my hair for at least 10 years.

Today was pretty productive to say the least.  And still nothing compares to that feeling of seeing your vision come to life (and well executed) for the first time.  I’m really looking forward to these upcoming months.  

As always, stay tuned…the best has yet to come.

I removed this TEM cap from the site, but I do have a few left that you can purchase directly here if you are interested.  Thank you in advance.
