Spears was sporting one of the artist-designed T-shirts Khayyam sells around the world through her Echo Park based "Blood is the New Black" line.

And, as Khayyam noted on Facebook, Ms. Spears probably doesn't even know where the shirt came from.

But we think it's a boost for BITNB, which Khayyam founded in 2004, and runs out of a space on Sunset Boulevard near Dodger Stadium.

Blood Is the New Black often features emerging artists, giving them a chance to reach a wider audience.

This one was designed by Angeleno artist Nicole Guice.

Definitely done!

Khayyam also runs an excellent blog as part of her online business.
