Naked & Angry is skinnyCorp’s latest venture (the guys behind Threadless) and they’re hoping to take Threadless’ success and expand it into other areas of design.
Their stated goal of Naked & Angry is “to create high quality products from patterns submitted and chosen by the brand’s audience”.
Their first series of objects was a set of silk neckties, and they’ve now moved on to hand screened wallcoverings, so you can see that the product line is going to be diverse. Apparently their plans include everything from ties and tops to pillows and belts to socks and sweaters to wallpaper, so if you can put a pattern on it, Naked & Angry will turn it into a competition.
New patterns will be chosen every season, and the goal is 5-15 various new items at a time.
Will Naked & Angry ever equal the success of Threadless?
My guess would be no, because I can’t imagine that the market for neckties and wallpaper is nearly as big as the market for t-shirts, but regardless, it seems like a great idea, and a great place to check out if you’re looking for something really unique with a handmade touch.

OK Go made themselves into quite a phenomenon with their treadmill video for their song “Here It Goes Again”, and they’re trying to capture the limelight once again with this wallpaper video for their song “Do What You Want”. Will they succeed? Only you (and YouTube) have the power to grant that fame, unless of course Apple decides to put this song into one of their commercials as they did with the first one. Here it goes again.
Here’s wallpaper that is sure to add some flavor to your room of choice. Covered in iguanas, plants, birds and bugs, the dark on light paper is called Iguana and is made by Timorous Beasties, a company specializing in all sorts of crazy wallpaper designs. This may be just the thing your drab room needs to get a little life flowing again, and I’m sure Feng Shui would definitely agree with this critter-paper’s use of energy and its harmony with nature.
