Hello,

The week seems to be flying by!

In conjunction with the launch of ‘Factory Girl’ and Sienna Miller’s portrayal of Andy Warhol’s muse, Edie Sedgwick, we are creating a range of 1960s inspired t-shirts with students at Kingston College. Selected designs will be stocked in Bentalls, Kingston, so watch out for some unique on-trend creations heading in store soon.

Talking of fabulous t-shirts, remember those designs created by teams of students from Croydon college? Well, after fantastic sales at the Fashion-Enter boutique Phil Innocent has approached us to feature more of the t-shirts on his new online e-store. Watch this space.
