Informative, illuminating, insightful and erudite, Slogan T-Shirts:
Cult and Culture is completely unique. Featuring interviews with a
wealth of credible fashion insiders, cultural commentators and creative
luminaries, from Holly Johnson (of Frankie Goes to Hollywood) to
Katharine Hamnett, it offers a multi-faceted approach to the question of
what makes the slogan T-shirt so rich, layered and culturally
relevant... because slogans are never simply just words; they are
emotive and evocative, suggestive and provocative.
*
Slogan T-Shirts: Cult and Culture* explores the vast spectrum of slogan
use on T-shirts; its function as a message delivery system; its
expression as an artefact of language; and its role as an emblem of
political, social, recreational and sartorial trends. The book unfurls
as a cultural library of perspectives, nuanced positions and eclectic
sources and each interview offers a cultural snapshot within the
versatile framework of slogan T-shirt culture. The book also glances
into the inner worlds, inside stories and mechanisms of those involved
in fashion, design and the production of media.
Beautifully designed, visually seductive and packed with influential
innovators from the last three decades, every page of this book is a
source of inspiration.
