"After 98 sleepless nights, 71 flashes of inspiration, 67 bad ideas, 54 new stockists, 40 complaints from conservative clowns, 36 chance meetings, 21 group hugs, 19 arguments with suppliers, 13 cases of Reschs, 8 tantrums, 4 years of ridiculously hard work, 3 plans to escape to a desert island and 2 out of body experiences, the time has come to put Eleventh Commandment to bed."

It is with feelings of sadness and admiration that we at Daily Labels bid farewell to a label that has built an ardent following nationally and on our website with our subscribers.

Founders Henry Holland and Joshua Oldfield announced on their blog a fortnight ago that they’ve decided to close shop on their label Eleventh Commandment to pursue their dreams in new endeavours.

With Henry planning to hit the university law books this year and Joshua shifting his focus on his new label Trunks, they both made the trying decision to conclude Eleventh Commandment’s high.

These boys lay testament on daring to dream and we wish them both prosperity in their new undertakings.

We will forever treasure their early involvement with Daily Labels and thank them for producing some quality garments over the years for our fans. They will be missed.

For all the Eleventh Commandment devotees, you’re still able to purchase the last of their garments at their online store. Get in quick.

Oh. Where did the weekend go? Yet another amazing summer weekend has disappeared into thin air and no one knows where it went.

Happy Monday Afternoon then.

We’re just getting a little excited about a new label on board this week.

 Clover Love. 

This professional artist is no fool. Amongst frequent gallery gigs and retail store events showcasing her paintings, Kristie Stenning launched her label Clover Love at Sydney’s Bondi Markets only three years ago.

Soon after moving her items into boutiques nationally, Kristie found her label travelling as far as London and Los Angeles too. Since then, her delightfully soft and flowing fabrics have not only caught our keen eye but also that of some British press heavyweights at Vogue, Elle and Grazia.

If the girl wasn’t busy enough, plans to expand Clover Love into a collection that doubles as an art exhibition are in place. There’s no time to be tired.

Clover Love is handmade in Australia and we’re pretty chuffed to have these feminine threads with Daily Labels. So should you. Don’t miss out.

Festive season was just hitting when we last checked in to our blog so we’d like to wish all our fans, friends, foes and anyone else for that matter a happy new one.

We’re pretty sure 2012 is going to be a slamming year. For one, we’ve got good vibes on it being an even number. Odd numbers make us crap our pants.

2012 is also way easier to handwrite. “11” just isn’t cursive enough for the self-proclaimed typography aficionados in our team.

Plus, it’s only February, so it’s just good to be positive while the sun is still shining, right?

While we’re definitely getting fiddly about autumn approaching, there’s no chance that anyone at head office is packing away any summer items just yet.

Hell no.

In fact, we’re excited to be welcoming two new labels to our online store whose tees’ll slide into your summer wardrobes like lime does at the tip of your Corona. Ona.

  Fontaine. 

Ladies, Fontaine is designed for the lads but there’s no getting around it. The oversized tee as seen on any female Garance Doré snaps will improve anyone’s intelligence on this one.

Designer Simon Lyssiotis designs colourful slim-fitting tees made from 100% cotton. And we’re not just talking any cotton. We’re talking cotton that is Australian made. Don’t mess around.

Already featured a few times in Fashion Journal and with a 10 page summer spread in Fjorde Magazine (page 36), Fontaine has a following of famous nobodies like us plus cool people that go out and drink blackcurrant ciders.

Our new friends are pretty well stocked around the nation but lay claim to a Fontaine this week on Daily Labels if you haven’t already.

 Away With The Others. 

Away With The Others is a Melbourne-based label launching basic prints monthly from university students with a graphic edge. With 5 new designs dropping monthly, Away With The Others is always keeping its appearance fresh and realistic.

All designs are printed with a quantity of 10 making each release limited. They're printed onto a longer cut garment with a ribbed scoop neck.

Featuring very shortly on Daily Labels, their prints are designed to fade over time to reveal a worn appreciated look.

Check our new siblings out on their Facebook page. They're swimming in fans. Another 20,000 can't hurt.

 Awesomeness. Right Here. 

We think this is a bit of WOW: Eleventh Commandment's Spring Summer 2011-2012 Launch.

This collection is entitled Dreaming. Watch it for yourself if you don't believe us. You'll see.

 For The Fans. 

A short feature on a very popular label at Daily Labels - Eleventh Commandment.

We'll also post a clip of their next season launch shortly, so keep your eyes peeled here and on Facebook.
