Latest celeb to launch a clothing line

So what can’t Pharrell Williams do!? Produce, rap, dance and now design clothes! Last Wednesday saw the launch of his two new clothing lines Billionaires Boys Club and Ice cream. So far only Harvey Nicholls has the exclusive stock! According to Pharrell the inspiration for the first collection came from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s Willy Wonka and NASA!!!!

There’s a couple of tips for any budding t-shirt designers out there! Some of the range looks a little OTT to me, especially the tailoring, but i do like the printed space beach tee, space print sweat (£150.00) and the slogan print trucker cap (£85.00).

Contact Harvey Nic’s for more info on 0207 236 5000.

Garment Price Increases

We have been notified by a number of our suppliers that due to particular market forces they have had no alternative but to increase prices on a number of their products. Although some products are increasing in price, there are also several styles that have been reduced.

There are a number of reasons why these price alterations are coming into force:

  • A weakening of the Sterling currency.
  • An increase in distribution costs.
  • A rise in the cost of production on the back of the escalating oil prices.
  • An increase in the price of cotton.
  • The fluctuation and upsurge in the Chinese currency and rising labour costs.

Amended prices are applicable from the 1st July 2008.

We hope this does not cause too much inconvenience and if we can help in any way, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Sex and the City!

The 28th May 2008 was a date that’d been in in my diary for some time. After never missing a single episode, and watching continuous repeats in DVD, the SATC movie was a major must see!

In a rumoured 300 costume changes in 148 minutes, the ever stylish Ms Bradshaw also dons a one-colour printed tee! I can confirm all speculation as false as Indigo did NOT print this tee! We do however stock the Gildan Ultra tee in a similar royal blue shade. These can also be customised with a one colour print (We do not unfortunately stock the glorious Dior gladiator shoes Carrie wears in the no 1 chick flick!).

The film is a definite must see, I loved the plot and the outfits, and to see New York’s ‘last single girl’ in the glorious Vivienne Westwood wedding dress brought a tear to my eye! Amazing! I’ll stop here before i ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet!

Real Man!

Us girls in the office do tend to bore the men with fake tan, gossip and frocks, so to keep the testosterone balance, we have our alpha male of the office, Stephan! He is often quoted as saying the things he does/eats/wears/watches are ‘real man sh*t’!

I couldn’t help notice a  fellow holidaymaker at Gatwick airport sporting a grey micro fleece jacket with REAL MEN embroidery detail. I might have to get one made up for the REAL MAN of our office.
