Thank You, MJ


We are devastated by the passing of one of the most influential human beings in the history of pop culture. Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. Thank you for having entertained us and inspired us like no other.

Absinthe by Couvet



Designed by Alexis Champa.
"Absinthe, in terms of history and experience, is a pretty nifty beverage. The goal was to create a brand that compares to the experience and easily appeals to the people and market who are currently buying it. It comes in three grades which reflect the percent of alcohol."

DOMREBEL X PEACE & K-OS

The one-of-a-kind piece we created for the anniversary of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's bed-in for peace was presented last night during the PEACE & K-OS show at Montreal's Festival Mode & Design. A performance by K-OS topped off the event which featured creations by BODYBAG by jude, Dinh Ba Design, Denis Gagnon, Dom Rebel, Philippe Dubuc, Envers par Yves Jean Lacasse, Harricana, Helmer, Marie Saint-Pierre, Michel Desjardins, Morales, Muse par Christian Chenail, Myco Anna, Nadya Toto and Tavan & Mitto. All creations were inspired by the bed-in and IMAGINE:The Peace Ballad of John & Yoko exposition currently running out its last days at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

The Dom Rebel creation features a two-photo frame of John & Yoko in their hotel bed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in 1969, each holding a flower and looking toward the window. The saying "L'Amour et la Paix" is written in graffiti style across the top and bottom of the frame. That saying was written on a piece of paper that they taped to the wall behind their bed while they stayed in Montreal. Three white roses, representing peace, fall from the right side of the frame. The graffiti words are embellished with 200 hand-set Jet Hematite Swarovski Crystals. On the back of the shirt, the lyrics to "Give Peace A Chance", which was recorded during their stay in Montreal, are printed in the original handwriting of John Lennon. At the bottom of the back of the shirt is a hand-drawn portrait of John & Yoko, drawn by John Lennon.

IMAGINE - The Peace Ballad of John & Yoko x DOMREBEL

It was 40 years ago that John Lennon and Yoko Ono held a week-long Bed-In for peace in Montreal, at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel. They checked into room 1742 and peacefully protested the war in Vietnam, a monumental moment in history that still resonates today.

Dom Rebel is extremely pleased to announce the creation of a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by this memorable stay by the couple in Montreal, and the powerful message they brought across to millions around the world. The piece we are creating will be displayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, alongside pieces made by other selected Quebec designers. A date will be announced shortly.

We hold John Lennon very close to our heart, as his messages of freedom and rebellion have always been a huge inspiration for our brand.

We invite you to visit the free of charge exhibition, IMAGINE, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. We've been twice already and probably will head back one more time to play the white piano ;) Visit www.mmfa.qc.ca for more info.

The Crying Skull

As you'll notice, this shirt is missing from our online collection for Spring 09. The Crying Skull is a logo you will find within certain designs, and sometimes in unusual places. This particular shirt was created in very limited edition, and it will come back in future collections in different variations, but always in very small quantities. Cheers to whoever got their hands on one...Justin is pissed because he didn't snatch up a white one before they were all sold out.

FAQ

Yeah so it's about time we build an FAQ section on our website. Considering how all our pieces are handmade, some need more special care than others in order to maintain them. And even though we always write how to take care of your shirt on the hangtag, some retailers place price stickers over important words.

Until we complete the section, we will leave the comments for this post open, so you can ask any questions or let us know of any problems you've had washing your pieces, and we'll answer back in the comments.

We think this is absolutely dope...

"This is our new tool, developed by the genius Jens Heinen, LICHTFAKTOR’s newest member who also did the fantastic „lightwriter 2.0“ software. With the “lightprinter” we are able to paint logos, words and patterns, just like they are printed in the air, this is the next step in “lightwriting”. We only did a test last night and we can’t wait to start using this tool…"
