Faez Fathi (1997 BFA Textile design alum) and his wife, Jen Bright-Fathi have concocted what could possibly be the cutest and quirkiest set of graphic tees for children with their labels Bunny & Bee (for girls) and Little Thieves (for boys).

From bullying bulldogs to prancing unicorns to skateboarding turtles, the collection of tees have a child-like wonder but they still have that edge – a perfect Christmas gift for all those kiddos in your life. And if you’re small enough, an adult can probably fit into (yes, they are that cool – I know I want one).
To find out where you can get a hold of some Bunny & Bee and Little Thieves loot, check out their website for store locations: www.bunnyandbee.com.

Sure, Danny Roberts may have a flourishing collaboration with Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers handbag collection, but for the holidays, might we suggest you take it back to something more throwback: his “Girls in Glasses” shirt.
The shirt by the former fashion illustration student is a hot commodity; which means it would make a good gift. AND it’s unisex.
Available at his blog, Igor + Andre.

Ingrid Chen, a 1999 MFA Merchandising Alumna and her business partner, Vivian Wang started their label appropriately called Viv & Ingrid in 1999. Since then, their whimsical and free-spirited baubles have been featured on the magazine pages of Real Simple, InStyle, Lucky, Self, Essence, Marie Claire, Elle, 7×7 and a whole landslide of others. In addition, celebs like Sandra Bullock, Jessica Alba, Uma Thurman and Jewel (no pun intended) have been adorned in their pieces – particularly their gold teardrop layered hoop earrings. And you may have remembered them from a Visa Small Business TV commercial in 2008.
I think it’s safe to say that they are doing pretty good.
That said, any of their chic trinkets are the perfect gift – perhaps the small gold Swarovski hoops in one of many colors? (pictured above)
In addition, the gals recently celebrated their 10th anniversary at Miette in Hayes Valley for a Parisian, candy-coated celebration. For pictures of the celebration follow the jump. Read more…
