Coachella Fashion: Ironic Tees

Because ironic tees can often be a barometer for public sentiment, what does the public at Coachella want?

To “Free Katie Holmes” and “Barack to the Future.”

Granted, there wasn’t a Republican choice available.

The shirt slogans are two of the most popular offered up by Brooklyn, NY, shirt maker Neighborhoodies, one of just 10 independent vendors allowed to set up shop in the venue this year.

“It’s kind of an honor,” said company founder and president Michael de Zayas.

It’s the only music festival the company has sold its wares at, citing Coachella as the biggest among their peers.

While their location is lackluster (in between the portable bathrooms and the lockers at the entrance) compared to their festival appearance two years ago (facing the main stage), they have a best seller — a T-shirt with a wigged-Obama and the slogan “Barack Me Amadeus.”
