I love these new T-Shirts. They are painted Tee's that look just fabulous. I think it's a really good idea, started by Westwood, the designer. But J-Crew has picked up the idea and has come out with a great line of painted Tee's. The tee's patterns are fantastic, derived from henna designs. Here is what NYmag.com has to say about the painted t-shirts by J-Crew: "When Vivienne Westwood sent a parade of vividly painted T-shirts down her spring runway, reaction was bittersweet. Yes, the tees were beautiful, but their prices were another story. Now J. Crew comes to the rescue with their own line of shirts, painted with designs inspired by henna patterns and evoking the same Crayola spirit that Westwood embraced on her catwalk. They can be paired with jeans, slacks, or a voluminous skirt for a full high-fashion effect—at a bargain basement price.

$29.50 at J. Crew, 91 Fifth Ave., at 19th St.; 212-255-4848."
