"Not just original, but experimental. Not just inspired, but emboldened. Not just modern, but progressive. We aspire to be at the pulse of artistic creation, that is, at the heart of all individuals, the creator, and that who is created for".
In the last couple of years t-shirt design has grown into an avangarde artform right at the intersection of fashion and art. Its free form, wearable canvas and tight integration in every day life has opened a whole new opportunity for artistic experiment and interferences as well as a market and a basis for self-expression. t-shirt designs are manifold, highly sophisticated, collecters items, often a perfect combination of artistic ingenuity and craftsmanship.
ARDT collaborates with international artists to showcase their artwork on a "wearable canvase“, the ARDENTEE. The result is a pret a porter t-shirt line which embody unique designs and art prints of high quality. ARDT brings to us the fusion of fashion and art serving a fundamental purpose of advocating artists and the arts.

Her visions portray a poet’s dream geared toward the imaginary of a wonder world. Meyoko discovered passion for art in France. She studied in Paris and began illustrating. Teenage angst and other turbulent times caused her to move to Berlin, in an environment more suitable for Meyoko’s development and personal quest, a path devoted to her art.

Christoph Ruprecht - Germany
After spending his last couple of hundred years on an Andromedan mothership with no contact to visual design at all, other than holographic interfaces, Chris felt the urge to get once again in touch with the long lost 2 dimensional design. While being used to creating multidimensional matter, simply by a controlled process of consciousness, he now on earth finds himself in a world of limited virtual cache and small glossy screens, still tripping him out sometimes.
