A couple of weeks ago we met with designers Lisa Mayock and Jeff Halmos behind the newly launched clothing brand Monogram. You may have heard of the two before. Both designers, Mayock co-founded the fashion label Vena Cava in 2004 with fellow Parsons student Sophie Buhai. Halmos launched the men’s design firm Shipley & Halmos with business partner Sam Shipley, which debuted in 2008. Fast forward a decade and the husband and wife duo are tapping into their entrepreneurial spirits once again with a company (which launched today, by the way) that’s revolved around making amazing iterations of one universal closet staple: the graphic tee.

“It’s the same thing we’ve heard over and over again: there’s a hole in the market,” Mayock explained. “And I’m a huge vintage t-shirt fan, and have a big collection, and it’s something I’ve gotten a lot of comments and compliments on. Nowadays vintage t-shirts are super expensive [because] dealers have gotten hip to the fact that that’s what everyone wants. We were looking around and doing research and noticed it was really difficult to find shirts that were new but still hit that same vintage sensibility. So we decided to create our own.”

And create their own they did—and take it from this editor that they are incredibly soft and the graphics and fits are destined to be seen on every cool girl you know. Why not join the fun and grab one for yourself below?
