The smockshop is an artist run enterprise that generates income for artists whose work is either non-commercial, or not yet self sustaining. We produce and sell smocks: a simple double wrap around garments designed by Andrea Zittel - then sewn by artists who often reinterprets the original design based on their individual skill sets, tastes and interests. As an active testament to Zittel’s principle that "rules make us more creative", each resulting smock is completely unique and one of a kind.

*i think it's a great concept...
but maybe it should be done with DESIGNERS instead of ARTISTS...
because the 'smocks' aren't all that pretty...

I like some of these.. Cute
I hope the textile prints are original too
Thanks for the thread, softgrey
I guess guys can wear some as aprons ^^

Must agree with some designs..
It's too bad I suppose --artists learn the same basics as designers
It's how to create a good composition, important in any work
I guess some artists just overlook the aesthetic purposes...

I really like some of them! I don't think they're so bad overall?

Pity you can't see them larger..
