The Political T-shirt Meets its Match in Big Fashion

The political t-shirt is back and badder than ever and we've seen more than a few political t-shirts sporting powerful slogans lately. From humorous attempts to poke fun at politicians to more serious and radical slogans the protest t-shirt is clearly back in fashion "bigly." The roots of the protest shirt aren't hard to trace, and the modern protest shirt owes a great deal to a well known British fashion designer called Katharine Hamnett. Hamnett's protest t-shirts first came to prominence in the early 1980s and from there, spawned one of the first iconic, social-viral movements in fashion. Copied, replicated and reproduced ad infinitum, Hamnett's signature styling and powerful messages on the front of t-shirts have been worn by every generation from the 1980s to today's the hipsters of youth culture and it seems to show no signs of stopping. But where did the protest t-shirt first find its feet and how did it come of age under this talented graduate of St. Martin's College in London? After all, we've seen slogans on t-shirts before this, from beer commercials to Disney characters to political statements. But what makes Katharine Hamnett's t-shirts so special? Why these protest t-shirts n particular?

Fashion Profile: Mexicool & Robby Vient Alcaraz

'It doesn't have to be profound,'' quips Robby Vient Alcaraz, the design powerhouse behind the Mexi/Cali lifestyle brand Mexicool, ''But it's got to be clever.''



And clever it is with Robby's often biting humor shining through a truly original and handsomely crafted range of sassy apparel and accessories, teasing us from the cultural intersection where tongue-in-cheek Mexican humor slams headfirst into the polish of Los Angeles pop culture.



An enigmatic character to be sure, Robby transcends both Mexican and So-Cal culture, self-descried as half-gringo and half-paisa, he is perfectly placed to poke fun at the intersection of these two worlds, all the while producing some of the most eminently wearable, and remarkable clothing to be seen street-side. Robby's snappy design and quick humor effortlessly makes light of an often strained relationship between the United States and Mexico which he feels, could benefit from more empathy, more fun and fewer, not more, boundaries.

The Zuckerberg Charcoal Uniform

The Zuckerberg Charcoal Uniform

The originator of mega-mega social media platform Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is a firm believer in the virtues of a personal uniform. Others may enjoy a little more variety in their work-week wardrobe but for Mark Zuckerberg it's one color and one color alone thank you: Charcoal grey. That's charcoal t-shirts, charcoal hoodies and charcoal long-sleeve tees and sweaters which dominate the Zuckerberg personal uniform aesthetic. What has come to be known as the Zuckerberg charcoal uniform is the stuff of Silicon Valley legend and one of the essential reference points in the amazing and constantly evolving history of geek-chic.



The uniform of the nerd was once a point of derision and contempt, the flag of the outsider and the unwelcome. Geek-chic was never something one would willingly adopt. This shabby and prejudiced stereotype of the nerd included trademark suspenders, tie (bow), button down collars, ''Birth control glasses'' (BCG's) and plaid trousers and is, thankfully, very much a thing of the past. Nerds run multi-million dollar corporations these days, they are the new rulers of the world and, more to the point, they are sexy trend-setters in their own right and a nerd is something to aspire to be.Ê

Trending: The Pocket T-Shirt

Trending: The Pocket T-Shirt

The latest fashion-forward trend radiating from both street fashion and the shiny showrooms of the high-fashion world has the classic crew neck t-shirt wearing a pocket. ''T-shirts with pockets?'' you say. Indeed, the pocket T-shirt is back from a long hiatus in the bottom drawer of the design studio. And, don't think for a minute that this is just limited to the basic 5-point pocket either, a below-the-radar, emergent undercurrent for the truly hipper-than-hip can be seen in the uber-retro 4-point pocket, the bad-boy original, and throwback to the retro-rooted heyday of t-shirt design and pure punk sensibility.



Any savvy t-shirt expert knows their onions when it comes to pockets on tees and will, no doubt, understand the value in having a truly soft ring-spun t-shirt textile in the mix. Ringspun cottons are just that much softer, and gentler on the skin than open-end traditionally spun yarns. They offer a seemingly lighter (although they actually aren't) and softer, more luxurious feel. Add to this that extra bit of strength and stretch afforded by a true bi-blend fabric like Spectra's ring-spun 30 singles and you don't just have a t-shirt, you have a fashion masterpiece aching to be worn, and worn for years.
