The Saturday’s are a girl band, and there is one who looks a bit like Sienna Miller, and that is why they are famous. The one who looks like Sienna is called Mollie King. I’m not sure if she is as annoying, but it probably comes close. Still, the Saturdays are very popular, even if noone knows what they do. When I say noone knows, I think I mean noone cares. Not true; I expect people do care, but they are little people who are under the age of about 10, which is the target audience for most pop stars these days. And yes, I am feeling very old today. I was at least 14 when I discovered U2 (I have since “undiscovered” them, you’ll be glad to know).
Anyway, I quite like this tee that young Millie or is it Mollie is wearing with a few tears and the slogan “Dirty Blonde”. It has that dual meaning which lifts it a little out of the “girl in t-shirt” category to the upper realms of “quite nice looking girl in funny t-shirt”. I think this is progress.

Karl Lagerfeld is popping up all over the shop (the best ones, naturally) at the moment. First there was a line in New York for Macy’s, and now his eponymous Karl label has been released in Europe. Net-a-Porter has an amazing interview of him, being interviewed by himself, which almost makes me wonder if he has a sense of humour. But surely not, I must be mistaken. It’s been a tough day.
The pieces that make up the collection are pretty racy. Lots of faux leather and biker chic, together with little Karl-like touches, such as some big collars and fingerless leather gloves. And of course the t-shirts, bags and other whatnots with little Karls printed on them.
I rather like this t-shirt with the silhouette of the designer. It’s very Karl. And very, um Very. I expect we’ll all be wearing them before ling, like the minions of Karl that we surely all are.

Big news today is that Mickey Mouse has hijacked Joy Division’s beautiful (if a little weird) artwork from their ”Unknown Pleasures” album. Naughty little rodent. Anyway, Joy Division purists are up in arms at the alleged theft at the pinching of their special wiggly lines, and drummer Stephen Morris has weighed into the argument saying “I was quite angry when I first saw it. No one asked us. They’re trading off the band and our album cover. I don’t like the design at all. It’s horrible.” And indeed he has a point. What’s Mickey doing looking all pimply?
Originally, the blurb on the Disney tee gave reference to it’s inspiration, stating that”…..inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album, this Waves Mickey Mouse Tee incorporates Mickey’s image within the graphic of the pulse of a star. That’s appropriate given few stars have made bigger waves than Mickey!” however, this has now been removed from the website, as too many grumpy fans complained, presumably. And maybe they thought it would be better all round if they didn’t draw attention to the ripped offness of the design.
The t-shirts have now sold out, making Disney very joyful indeed. They might be taking the Mickey is it a joyful decision?

Completely nailing the pastel and print trend, at mega affordable prices is Lavish Alice, with a brilliant selection of prints and patterns. The fruit print vest is a direct descendant of Dolce and Gabanna’s summer range, whilst the little bird print vest is perfectly Prada.
Wonderfully, the prices are almost teeny, with £20 for each of these little beauties. Just enough to pop on with jeans to embrace this season’s trend without feeling as though your bank manager is personally going to come round and squeeze every last drop out of you.

I love the concept of Threadless. Threadless is a design community, where t-shirt designs are submitted online by a whole stack of different people. You can then give the designs a score, and buy them!
I really like this penguin design, with a lovely Star Wars-y feel to it. With the title “Emperor” and a penguin (an emperor one presumably) it’s just the right side of cool and quirky.
From the space age, to the totally ridiculous, this parody of the Occupy movement made me chuckle too.
Well worth taking a look if you want to see some amazing designs. You might even be inspired to do a bit of designing too. Perfect soggy January fodder!

French t-shirt design company Zoe Tees was founded in 2004 in Paris by creative director Laure Pariente as a sartorial reaction to the t-shirts she saw around her. She wanted to create flattering basics, with elegant lines and a quality feel to the garments.
The range is now sold globally, and is fast becomming a cult label with online shops including Net-a-Porter, mywardrobe.com and ASOS.
I rather like this ‘Love’ t-shirt. With a huge print, and an unfinished neckline, a lovely drapey feel, and a really comfortable look, it’s sure to be a sell out.
ZoeTees has a feel to it that is a bit like Wildfox Couture but more understated. Hugely popular nonetheless and well worth keeping an eye out for them in the sales. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, there is a little bit of a downside. They don’t come cheap, with the little number opposite retailing for £92. Far too much, in my opinion, for a t-shirt, but the prices do go right down in the sales, so you can snap them up a lot cheaper if you shop around. ASOS have some brilliant bargains, but it’s so easy to get distracted by all the other stuff on there, you start to lose track of time. Anyway, there you have it. ZoeTees….great in sales!

Karl Lagerfeld is possibly one of the few people in the world who can flog dodgy drawings of himself on t-shirts, but then if anyone can, Karl can. His new collection for Impulse at Macy’s is a capsule range (mostly black) with the odd shot of pink, lots of grey tweeds and some nude dresses. This has Lagerfeld written all over it, from the impeccable tailoring of the monochrome designs, to the various t-shirts printed with images of the designer. In which Karl literally is written all over it.
There’s something about these tees that I really like, although I’m not sure why. Still, unless he makes some for the UK market, then I’ll just have to look from afar, and never learn what is so strangely compelling about a dodgy looking pony tailed chap all over a t-shirt. Hmm.

Following yesterday’s post about how Italians are going mad for t-shirts with “Keep Calm and Vada a Bordo, Cazzo!” and other slogans, I thought I would just show how easy it is with our template to create your own “Keep Calm” t-shirt, mug, hoody or other product from our extensive range.
Go to the tab that says “Designs” at the top of the front page, choose your item, and then try out your slogan and our preview option will show you how your item will look. Have a go at using different spacing or writing less words on a line to keep the text larger.
It really is the easiest way to create a brilliant slogan, which will work brilliantly as either a gift, or your own statement piece. Have a go, and have fun!

If it wasn’t such a terrible tragedy, you’d might have thought that the Costa Concordia disaster was some kind of a spoof. The Italian stallion, staying true to his roots, wining and dining a young lady, and then jumping into the lifeboat the second things go wrong.
Sadly, it’s all too true, and the recording of the coastguard official Gregorio de Falco (eloquent in the extreme) ordering the increasingly forlorn captain Francesco Schettino back on board has given rise to droves of Italians buying t-shirts with the words “Vado a bordo Cazzo!”, roughly translated as “Get back on your ship, where you belong, you lily livered cowardly, medallion wearing numpty” A Facebook page has been set up condemning the man, who allegedly tripped and fell into the lifeboat, abandoning thousands of terrified passengers. I almost feel sorry for him; this is vitriol on a social media scale. But not that sorry. The captain is supposed to be the last man on board, not the first on the lifeboat.

Most people would agree it’s quite difficult to get your head around the the idea of staggeringly beautiful and/or handsome androgynous model Andrej Pejic. Do you think he’s better looking as a woman, or as a man? Are you supposed to find him attractive in either guise? Does he look like a girlish man or a masculine woman? Is that an angular chin which is softened by those cheekbones and that hair, or is it the other way around? It is a bit of a head mess, but I would imagine that the controversy surrounding him does him no harm at all. In fact it is proving to be really rather lucrative, what with a massive arvertising campaign for Danish company’s Hena push up bras, and countless catwalk appearances.
I love this look from a fashion show for Auslander in Brazil. Pejic is wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “Oh Lord, I have sinned”, an brilliant statement considering the reaction he generates. Although sinning is a bit strong, maybe confused is more fitting!
