By: Veronica Viljoen: Los Angeles, May 22: The creative t-shirts of San Diego based company, Quiet Hero, caught my attention at POOLTRADESHOW in Las Vegas, a few seasons ago.

When Blogger, Tasha Adams, Editor, Racked LA, posted “Culture Gap: Plenty of Artist Editions T-Shirts Left”, on Thursday, May 22, I saw similarities between the Gap t-shirts featured in the Racked LA review and the design talent of Quiet Hero (photo L, "Lovely Locks"). Both companies inspire us to dream; to live; to do better and above all to be thoughtful of others.

According to Lee Selman, Owner, Quiet Hero, for Spring/Summer '09, we're going in two slightly different directions with our company. One direction is for our hardcore fans that wear Quiet Hero t-shirts because they are raw and cool while the other direction is the line of t-shirts that you can wear to pick up your niece at pre-school”. In my opinion, it's great to see creative ideas in design houses around the world. It's a wrap, V.
