Fashion Is Fun

Spice, Spice Baby

Spice Tee Reader Ashley writes in to say that the Spice Girls concert was amazing but the t-shirts were even funnier than Scary Spice’s hair:


Apparently, Posh and the rest heart Henry Holland!

The t-shirts feature lyrics from the girls’ most famous songs, all rendered in Henry’s trademark block script.

Our favorite?

The ones that say “Stop Right There”… but this one that screams “Who Do You Think You Are” seems more appropriate:

It seems Mel, Mel, Victoria, Emma, and Gerri think they’re nu rave club kids!

Too funny...but will I have to sit through a concert to buy one?

So Henry Holland copies Katharine Hamnett, and the Spice Girls dress like Holly Johnson and George Michael. I could really get behind (dirty Frankie pun intended there) an eighties revival right now.

Ah. The concert was AMAZING! Every childhood dream came true in just one night. I wouldn't buy the shirts though, even if I am the crazy fan. Their too expensive and too plain. I'll stick to my old ones--but too bad my mom used them as cleanign rags! :[

The idea of the slogan tshirt and block lettering is hardly Henry hollands own trademark. Lets be fair... Slogan T-shirts have been around since the 1980s and were originally designed by Katherine Hamnett. He just capitalized off someone else's idea and got lucky.

Well, yeah - but it's also the WAY he does it, the way the text is. Well, and also the rhyming shout-outs, but the Spice Girls haven't lifted that.

OK, I kind of really want one of those shirts. But it really bothers me that "Who do you think you are" doesn't have a question mark at the end, so I'd have to choose another.
