Are you over graphic tees yet? I'll admit that I was done -- that is until, I got a package in the mail the other day. It was filled with three or four rich, black cotton tees. What I saw when I unfolded them rebooted my drive for tees that tease. The shirts featured a range of graphics, lyrics and pictures that referenced old school hip-hop and technology. Odd combination, I know, but the origin of the shirts explained it all beautifully: Microsoft. Yeah, as in Bill Gates. The technology giant has aligned itself with hip hop giant, Common, to create this capsule collection of tops called Softwear by Microsoft. The partnership was inspired by the parallel progress that both technology and hip hop have enjoyed in the last two decades. The tees are designed for men and women and retail for roughly $32.
