>> I don't normally plug the work stuff too much, lest I get accused of "selling out" (most oft-misused phrase in the world, no?). But here I'm selling in the name of charideeeeeeeeeee...... namely War Child... and it also happens to tap into the whole "What animal tee are you - gorilla or croc?" profound question that has been popping up of late.
Dazed & Confused have partnered up with Edun to create these series of t-shirts/dresses, with the fashion team at Dazed working closely with illustrator Jo Ratcliffe to get the right 'roar' and level of 'visciousness' on the zebra, snake, lion and leopard heads. 15% of all proceeds will go to War Child, who are currently working on projects in Congo and the tees are 100% organic cotton and made in Peru... there's yer' green/clean/kind statements out of the way.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty though... what sort of an animal am I? I'm no majestic lion nor am I a lithe leopard and the snake is frankly a little too terrifying to wear. No, it had to be the gawky zebra that also has the look of a wild-eyed, deranged donkey... if I hark back to my braces-wearing, buck-teeth phase, I could ALMOST morph into said zebra...perfecto!
Oh, more offi-ciel info. All tees are now available to buy at Edun Online but if you want to go try them on in person (they look much better on than as flat shots, it has to be said...), they're also available from Selfridges on their new 3rd floor Central bit in a special pop-up shop and failing all of that, you can get them from Saks Fifth Avenue from the 29th October.
