Trend of the week: Slogans

INSPIRATION

Fashion is no stranger to slogans.

From the Wham! ‘Choose Life’ epithets of the `80s to Henry Holland’s naughty `00s Cockney rhyming slang tees, the pithy phrase is trending fast with designers like Markus Lupfer and Brian Lichtenberg cornering the market.

For a glam take on our own gift of the gab, check out Grand Grand (grandgrand.bigcartel. com) and Blu-Boy (blu-boy. com) – the latest mascots for homegrown mottos.

STYLE NOTES

Wear your slogan with a chic tuxedo suit for downtown style snaps.

Fashion mavens are flocking to Browns Focus (brownsfashion.com) for fashion-inspired catchphrases from ‘Team Margiela’ to ‘Heart Rodarte’ and Brian Lichtenberg’s sassy sartorial wordplay.
