Super retro styling is abound at The Hipstery website, where you can buy mystery shirts from different sources.

The Hipstery liberates you from the burden of choice.

The image shown left is a nicely designed piece of retro internal advertising on The Hipstery. Little humorous gems like this advert pepper the site and add to the whole appeal. I must saying I’m loving the use of the old 3D glasses.

Can you tell yet that I love the design of this website? This website could stand the test of time…until everyone realises how great it is and copies it.

Mistery Shirt - 1 fathom

Mistery Shirt


Today I was complaining about all the choices we have in a shop. I cannot choose and despite of all the choices there is nothing I like. Someone must have heard me complain about this because I've just read an article about an online shirt shop where you cannot choose your shirt.
Just a few things they want to know.
1. Male or female.
2. Size.
3. Which colour you really dislike.
4. Answer a few questions.
5. Your shirt will be send to you based on information above.

If you really hate the shirt they have send you, you can always send it back.

More information here.

How does the Hipstery work?

1. Pick a size, then take the checkout quiz to tell us about yourself.
2. Our t-shirt scientists select the perfect t-shirt for you.
3. You receive your mystery shirt, liking it so much you weep with happiness!

We believe in a world increasingly losing mystery through rampaging technological advancement we're forgetting how to enjoy the unknown, to take a chance. The Hipstery tee shirts maker is designed to address this.

Re-moving the Burden of Choice with Hipstery - Something for the Weekend

Re-moving the Burden of Choice with Hipstery

HipsteryWhat if when we bought products, the choice was taken away from us and we were given the product the expert thought best? That’s the theme of Hipstery a new T-shirt store online. Their manifesto reads, ‘Life is increasingly loosing mystery to the encompassing world of technology and an endless desire for knowing’. Rather than choosing your T-shirt design, they choose one for you, basing their decision on a survey of seven questions. The faces behind Hipstery, who prefer to be known as ‘scientists’, say they are experts in picking the right T-Shirt for you, ‘With over 10 years experience in the t-shirt industry we combine our knowledge, contacts and superior style to create the Hipstery’. A thought provoking retail model, it would be interesting to see all kinds of retailers take this approach to selling us products, experts in their field prescribing what is best for us based on what we told them. It would certainly put surprise and mystery back into our lives. Whether it would work out or not, Hipstery T-Shirts will definately be on our Xmas list.

Project: Original Business Concepts. Do you know any? | uncluttered white spaces

Example: In the midst of an explosion of information and choice, are consumers missing out on surprise? The team behind Hipstery, a web store for mystery t-shirts, thinks they are. Which is why there are no t-shirt designs to choose from on Hipestry’s site. Instead, customers select a size, pay EUR 17 (plus shipping) and answer a series of questions about themselves. The Hipstery’s ’style scientists’ run the responses to this quiz through their ‘innovative style algorithm’—both concepts which the site’s irreverent tone would lead us to interpret loosely—to select the right t-shirt from their exclusive range of designs, many of which are out-of-print shirts from small suppliers.

Hipstery - NecesCity - Feel the City's Pulse

Using the power of science for the sake of fashion

  Science has permeated almost every aspect of our lives; Marketeers track our purchases so they can recommend products; microwaves cook our popcorn and send our emails; we clone sheep, keep Larry King alive and there’s even talk of breast implants with GPS. But when it comes to fashion, the most scientific we get is the deduction algorithm that says it’s smarter to put on our jeans first, before our sneakers.

Now some clever, if not secretive t-shirt-loving Germans are using a unique algorithm, combined with personal information given by you, to match you with your perfect t-shirt. The Hipstery, which sounds like a home for trendy nuns, has over a decade of experience, choosing customised t-shirt choices from a wide selection and sending them out from their secret bunker somewhere in the European Alps. Simply log on to their website, go through some cocktail bar-styled small talk, and they’ll use the powers of science to select the perfect t-shirt for you – guaranteed – no matter where you live in the world.

Unique t-shirt selection, reverse osmosis bottled water and iPhone porn. What will science think of next?

Unravelling the t-shirt Hipstery | BenGilman.com

The concept

In a nutshell, The Hipstery “liberates you from the burden of choice” – specifically, you tell them your t-shirt size, fill in a fancy-dan quiz about your tastes and their t-shirt scientists go find you a t-shirt and dispatch it to your door. The t-shirts are sourced from various cool designers and are usually from rare, limited edition runs.

The delivery

A couple of weeks later (The Hipstery are in Germany and the UK post were probably on strike) a mysterious brown paper bag dropped through my door. In fact, it didn’t drop through my door at all. Instead, a red “sorry you were out and we can’t stuff a t-shirt through your letterbox” card arrived and I had to take a trip to the Royal Mail depot to collect it. So, eventually…

What's this?

So the mystery is slightly compromised by the fact that the envelope is carrying The Hipstery’s branding but it was the start of ‘the experience’  – not something you usually experience when buying things online.

The grand opening

Using the time-honoured combination of my fingers and opposable thumbs I tore open the package to reveal the goodness inside.

The contents

As promised, the primary part of the delivery was the mystery t-shirt – on arrival it was wrapped in a natty plastic bag that is missing from this picture.

pottCast: Hipstery - Liberating you from the burden of choice

Die Rede ist ganz klar von Hipstery.com, dem schrägsten Shirt-Shop den ich kenne. Der Herr Phil hatte nämlich ein Mystery-Shirt von Hipstery beim Stylespion-Gewinnspiel gewonnen. Nun ist es bei Hipstery aber nicht so das man sich einfach ein Shirt seiner Wahl aussuchen darf, sondern nach Wahl der Shirtgröße und einem Persönlichkeits-Psycho-Test (den man dort ablegen muss) die wackeren Wissenschaftler von Hipstery mit streng geheimen Methoden ein Shirt für einen finden, welches genau zur eigenen Persönlichkeit passt. Welches Shirt man genau gekauft hat erfährt man allerdings erst wenn man es aus dem Briefkasten zieht - vorher bekommt man es nicht zu sehen. Daher auch der Name: Mystery-Shirt.

Das ganze musste natürlich ausprobiert werden und so habe ich auch gleich den Persönlichkeitstest gemacht und mir so Mystery-Shirt bestellt. Die Liebste fand die Sache so lustig, dass Sie auch gleich mal mitgemacht hat. Ebenfalls sehr mysteriös: man muss nirgends seine Adresse eingeben, nur seine Email. Ich hatte angenommen die Schreiben einem dann ne Bestätigung und fragen wohin die Ware geschickt werden soll. Falsch gedacht! Zwei Tage später kam ein Umschlag mit großem bunten Fragezeichen mit der Post ohne das ich je danach gefragt wurde wo ich wohne.


Der Umschlag wurde natürlich sofort aufgeregt geöffnet und tatsächlich... es waren (unter anderem) zwei T-Shirts drin. Die Liebste fand ein Shirt vor auf dem das Motiv eine VIKEA Bauanleitung für ein Wikingerschiff war...
