The Mad Tee Party

Market brand ‘you’ with these tees that each seem to have a personality of their own

Meet the urban T shirt, a wardrobe staple that has seen the rise and fall of many a fashion era and lived to tell the tale, while never once failing to reinvent itself. Popularised post-World War II by stars like John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean, the 1960s were all about ringer tees (with jersey fabric and ribbing in different colours), tie-dye and screen-prints. While 1970 saw the introduction of the black concert t-shirt with band logos emblazoned, it was during the 1980s and 1990s that the phenomenon of ‘personal branding’ with witty one-liners and cheeky slogans first started. Although viewed predominantly as casual and informal, dressed up the right way, they are versatile enough to work their way into any look.
