Each t-shirt is its' own, there are no 2 alike. So, get out there and buy one, two or what the heck, buy a whole dozen!

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2004 -- Seven months ago, Meredith Fleischer drove from Detroit to NYC with nothing more than a U-Haul packed to the brim with vintage t-shirts, a few decorative old lamps and a bed. Her obsession with t-shirts started as a young girl and continued to grow throughout her teenage years and into her twenties. With both her BFA (Center for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI) and MFA (Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, MI) in Photography, Meredith chose to put her camera aside when she finished graduate school in 2002 and began hand cutting and sewing her own t-shirts that collected at the bottom of the pile and never got worn. Using a needle and embroidery thread she sits on the hard wood floor for hours at a time hand stitching one, two and sometimes three t-shirts together, without a template or a sewing machine in sight.

Before the vintage t-shirt explosion in the fashion world, Meredith was already having tags screen-printed, shopping daily for inventory and getting support for her designs from local boutiques in the Detroit metro area. I never thought in a million years that I would be making t-shirts and people would buy them. I started just making them for myself because I was so sick of all my own clothes. Soon people began asking to make them t-shirts and offered to pay me for it. And thats when it all started " says, Meredith.

Based on the concept of improvised design, Vintage Rescue t-shirts,
are all one-of-a-kind, handpicked, washed, and sewn. Supporting color, design, fit, aesthetic and quality, Vintage Rescue t-shirts flirt with the notion of nostalgia or home made, with the exception of a professional wise finishing touch.

Merediths, young and edgy rocker chic tees have been seen on such celebrities as Britney Spears in 2 issues US Weekly, have been featured on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and featured in the article, Fashionista" at nylonmag.com.
