Daisy Crochet Tops from Oasis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Crochetoasis

Simple separates are all very well for creating a retro wardrobe for every day, but the addition of sixties style points like crochet can lift the look to something special. These Daisy Crochet Tops from Oasis use the retro elements with subtlety and chic.

The monochrome colour palette allows a daisy crochet pattern to stand out, creating a visible nod to Mary Quant's mid sixties styling. The capped sleeved top and cardi are both a cutesy pairing for skirts, shorts or pants that have the right balance between girly and grown up style for a Winter mod-inspired look.

Get them from Oasis now at £35 for the top and £40 for the cardi.

Gama Clothing does a Tokyo 1964 Olympics t-shirt

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tokyo

A t-shirt isn't top of many shopping lists in the autumn months, but we still think this Tokyo 1964 t-shirt at Gama Clothing is worth a mention.

It's part of the retailer's Gary Crowley range, although he obvious didn't design the logo for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics. That was the work of Modernist designer Yusaku Kamekura.

It's a slightly thinner 160gsm t-shirt than usual, with an 'American college cut' and double stitched hems, available in all sizes. £20 each will secure you one online, which seems reasonable enough.

Brave new world

Glastonbury 1970 t-shirt available at BME

Glasto

 We're obviously not at the Glastonbury Festival right now. Instead, we're digging out loads more retro gear, like this Glastonbury 1970 t-shirt, which is available at BME.

In the days of this shirt, it was £1 in, bands were more interesting (The Kinks and the Amazing Blondel to name two) and no doubt there was plenty of free love, no security and not a hint of a TV crew to capture you doing something embarrassing.

The t-shirt is based on the original poster for the event and is available in various sizes for £30. Even better? You don't have to get sun stroke to get one.

Violent Elegance’s La Mela-inspired t-shirt

Posted on | Leave a comment

Redappletshirt

We featured La Mela (The Apple) a while back. Designed by Enzo Mari in 1963, its influence continues to be seen everywhere, not least in these t-shirts from Violent Elegance. 

The t-shirts feature the same graphic depiction of the apple, right down to the black stalk. The simplicity of the design works well printed onto the white cotton American Apparel t-shirts they've used. Those who are less purist may be interested to know the design is also available with a green apple (different to Mari's original red design). 

The t-shirts cost £26.95.
