Josh Podoll Clothing. Official Site. Abstract painter Josh Podoll became a fashion designer by accident. In 2003, with a desire to make something less serious than a painting, Josh began a series of humorous drawings to silkscreen on t-shirts as gifts for friends and family. One thing led to another, and a few months later two of the most coveted clothing stores in San Francisco were selling the first incarnation of Josh’s limited edition t-shirts under the label ‘JP’. By spring of 2004, stores throughout the U.S. and Japan were selling two categories of his t-shirts; the ‘Josh Podoll’ line and the Josh Podoll Custom Collection. When creating each line, Josh maintains a commitment to sustainability by employing organic cotton for his tees and reviving vintage pieces for the Custom Collection. The Custom Collection evolved out of a desire to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are in essence a painting you can wear. In the Custom Collection, vintage T-shirts and button downs are deconstructed, hand-painted, embroidered, patched, and hand silkscreened.
For Spring 2006 the Josh Podoll Collection will debut a full collection for both men and women. Continuing to draw upon the life and style of the artist as his chief inspiration, Josh has developed a contemporary collection of styles as idiosyncratic as the art and artists that inspire them. In addition, humor, derived from a tongue-in-cheek relationship to fashion and trend along with a strong dose of contradiction, continues to be a major theme in the Josh Podoll Collection for 2006. Other influences are equestrian sports, cartoons, Zen Koans, and antiquated pop culture.
