New: Disco glam shirts @ Casa Del Shai

January 25th, 2007 at 02:24pm Ryan Darragh

Shai Delacroix continues her glitterball glitz-blitz down Memory Lane with these fab new Disco Shirts for men.  (She has a whole line of Solid Gold gear for women, too!)  I expect to be no less than completely wowed by Shai’s designs, but these shirts are impossibly, weepingly beautiful.  I missed the Disco Era–I was a little too young, in fact a mere babe, thanks for asking–but Shai’s retrodisco designs seem to bring it all back, heightened and romanticized to be sure, but it all feels right somehow.  The cloth of these shirts has an elaborate, almost baroque pattern that by rights ought to be in conflict with the silky nylon/poly sheen of the fabric, but here they meet and blend harmoniously.  Design = Art + Magic.  Here you see the Disco Shirt in Turquoise.  Note how details like the point collar, deep vee neck, and buttons are kept subtle and restrained so the fabric of the shirt can really stand out and shine–all in perfect balance.

Shai’s Disco Shirts are available in Orange, Turquoise, Chocolate, Indigo, Moss and Navy.  The jewel-like colors are all strong and clear, in keeping with the ethos of the era.  Impressively, the intricate pattern of the fabric manages to accentuate torso definition rather than conceal it.  You’ll hear no complaints from me!

Tucked and untucked versions are included with each shirt, along with the Bell Bottom Pants with Belt Buckle shown here.  At left you see the casually untucked Disco Shirt in Orange.  At right we have the Disco Shirt in Indigo, tucked in to show off the ready-for-action Bell Bottom Pants.  Is that the Bee Gees I hear in the background?  Or  Donna Summer?  Somebody point me to the dance floor!

Shai’s new Disco Shirts are available now for L$250 each at at Casa Del Shai (Deimos 231, 45, 40).
