Katharine Hamnett is one of the most famous designs for
creating slogan t-shirts. She has made it her mission to help
improve the environment that we live in and make everyone
have equal rights. Hamnett has once said on her website,
“There is no better placard than the human body. Yes, it’s
become fashionable to care, or at least look as if you care,
but t-shirts will always be powerful.” Which is a great way
of putting the whole idea of the slogan t-shirts, as it is now
fashionable, more people will wear it therefore making the
message spread further and hopefully impacting more change
into whatever is being said.
out there is really important and valuable to charities and
communities. More people will be willing to help change their
views if it is printed on a t-shirt and made fashionable, as sad as
that sounds. Fashion is everywhere, everyone follows fashion
in some way, and if people are told slogan protest t-shirts are
on trend, then people will go out and buy 5. Now is the time
to create these fashion protest clothing whilst people are all
interested and willing to change the way that they are to help
save the environment and to help treat everyone as equals.
As previously said, stopping the use of plastic straws in your
cocktails on a night out could save the turtles, just saying.
