T-shirt news

April 11th, 2008

Is Ashlee Simpson planning a career as a T-shirt designer? The singer has teamed up with American store Wet Seal, which will sell tops she has designed in conjunction with the release of her third album: Bittersweet World. Simpson says, ‘I was inspired by so many fun, wonderful things as I was recording Bittersweet World and it’s been great to carry through those inspirations into these new shirt designs. I hope my fans love this album and rock out in these shirts.’  She’s following the trail blazed by her older sister Jessica, who released her own fashion range in 2005.

Rod Stewart had also launched his own fashion range - including T-shirts, tracksuit tops, baby bibs and official ‘Rod Stewart Panties’, which have entwined love hearts and Isn’t it romantic? written across the front.

New York-based Israeli designer Doron Braunshtein’s latest line is a T-shirt carrying the slogan Who Killed Barack Obama? The controversial top has led to a media frenzy as politically active New Yorkers mobbed stores to buy the T-shirts. Braunshtein says the slogan was designed to raise concerns over the extreme emphasis some people have placed on Obama’s race, and the lament the fact that a black President may face a greater risk of assassination.
