Slogan T-shirts are spreading the style message at London Fashion Week.
But more than two decades after the designer Katharine Hamnett wore a protest T-shirt emblazoned with "58% Don't Want Pershing" to meet Mrs Thatcher at Number 10 in 1984, the messages are more comical than political.


The young designer label, House of Holland, took to the catwalk yesterday with a series of rhyming couplets that poked fun at fashion supermodels and designers.
"I'll Show You Who's Boss, Kate Moss" was worked in pink jewels on a pink lame T-shirt, while "I've Got More Than A Handful For Naomi Campbell" was stamped on a rubber T-shirt.
The Canadian supermodel, Linda Evangelista, was acknowledged on a white Lycra dress, which read "Let's Play Naked Twister, Linda Evangelista," while the international catwalk star, Jessica Stam, the current "face" of Lanvin and Marni, was delightfully immortalised in the line "Wham, Bam, Thank-you Stam".
The House of Holland was started just five months ago by Henry Holland, a BA graduate from the London College of Printing. It has already generated a cult following, with sales at major international stores including Colette in Paris, Barneys in New York and Harvey Nichols in London.
The House of Holland was one of three designers showing on the Fashion East catwalk, sponsored by Topshop.

WAIT. DID THAT SAY THAT JESSICA WAS THE FACE OF MARNI?

I didn't know Marni put out ad campaigns in magazines.. Hmm...

Thank you, brian ! I can't decide which one is my favorite! (Behati's is definately a frontrunner because she's amazing!)

Since when does Marni even have ads?

 

[TheGlassAngel]

Ack! "Grab My Wiener", "Fancy A Screw". Loves it

 

[zamb]

well, all this depends on how you view this.
to me the shirts are utter crap,
i probably wouldnt wear one and dont think that its worth making a collection,
however, i must admit that the Kid who makes them , if he is smart has probably made enough money and enough connections, to translate this into somehing more lasting and long term, when all this novelty has worn away.....

 

[brian]

it is crap.
like i said, he's milking the trendiness of HOH for all it's worth.
but still, i'd wear the cindy crawford tee...

 

[Diorling]

I want the weiner hoodie.

 

[kevinnn]

I feel ashamed for liking these.

 

[susie_bubble]

Brian...your post title cracked me up... thanks for posting!

 

[brian]

^ no problem,....
i really want that tee...
black with gold foil letters, please henry!!!

 

[susie_bubble]

You know...I'm sure he'd oblige....he's really really nice!

Hoh.... I had the longest discussion ever with my boyfriend last night over these tees.
I totally loved the first 4 fashion groupie ones he came out with - and bagged myself two... !! But now.. I don't know, I guess I'd just hoped Henry would come up with something euh... new. (Looking forward to what he did for Kickers..)

Then again, ok, he is milking it, but he would be crazy not to, right?
The hype and the demand is there, so why not. (Don't tell my boyfriend I actually admit this after ranting on for an hour..)
And hey, the slogans might not be as catchy as the first ones but I'm sure liking the pretty colours

 

[so_jealous]

I contacted him once too (before when there was only 4 shirts) and he is really nice even via this blackberry message...

 

[Ceptuouse]

I want the weiner hoodie.

Me too

The collection seems more appealing with models names on the shirts

I love that it's kind of a fashion-fan inside joke. I so want the Iekeliene one.
