Red Dot Brogues White T-Shirt

This week’s P.O.T.W. features the T-shirt brand Red Dot. In my opinion, T-shirts are at their best when they’re kept simple – a clever print over a classic white colourway is all you really need. This tee shows that the wearer knows a little bit about classic style as well as street style.

Dead Hardy

GOOD LOOK

This first picture is of something I spotted whilst in Traid. For the uninitiated, it’s basically a franchise of charity stores that specialise in clothing. They have a special section in which they stock customised designs from customers garments that have been recreated and turned into new dynamic designs. A prime example is this stylish blue gingham T-shirt pictured above!

The second picture comes courtesy from my good friend Jerome. I spotted him rocking the new Adidas Ransoms. Adidas haven’t always done it for me personally, yet I feel they’re on to a winner with this series; tTouching on the shoe/trainer hybrid trend is a step in the right direction.

BAD LOOK

If you follow us here at Individualism, you’ll know that we have a personal vendetta against London Transport. Apart from being as reliable as Titus Bramble in defence, it seems to consistantly smell of satans ass, house the most uncomfortable seats since the Roman times and only ever transports teenagers with a desire to blast their shit music for all to hear.

But last week I was subjected to even more torture. These patent Rumpelstiltskin-style shoes were so vile they’d neutralise Medusa! And rocking them with brilliant white trousers is probably an even regrettable sin.

I wanted to punch this mannequin in the face for looking so cool and calm while wearing Ed Hardy. The fact that it was displaying three Ed Hardy pieces was enough for to make my eyes bleed. I should have used those chains to strangle the smug mannequin.

Another week, another set of style lessons. Remember if you have any of your own Good Look Bad Looks, send them in to us at contact@individualism.co.uk

GOOD LOOK

A good friend of mine was wearing this beauty; it’s a vintage compass jewellery piece and the great thing about vintage jewellery is that it comes with an air of mystery. A hidden story and rich history. Perfect for making up some bullshit to get the ladies listening!

Anyhow, this vintage-piece really stood out, not just because no-one else will have it, but because it’s simple, elegant and interesting. Every guy needs in a timeless accessory.

The second picture shows something completely different. Here, we have a few belts from high-street king UNIQLO. The eye-catching colours and fabric help take that a step further. It’s the perfect summer accessory that won’t cost the earth.

BAD LOOK

Some printed T-shirts can be fun and show your playful side and others will have you looking like John Terry in a Champions League final… a complete dick. Sexual connotation T-shirts like these should be avoided like the plague.

What’s even worse than sexual connotation T-shirts are ones produced by Christian Audigier. And the fact that he has a book too makes it a very sorry situation.

Shit, I felt like slapping the Foyles employee. I didn’t though.

Alexander McQueen Painted Skull T-Shirt

aaron — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:29:31 +0000

In the wake of the tragic death of one of East London’s most famous fashion exports, the infamous Alexander McQueen, we’ve decided to dedicate our ‘Product of the Week’ to the talented man himself.

Hailing from the London borough of Lewisham, McQueen attended Rokeby School in Newham, our very own borough. McQueen then left with one O-Level in Art, going on to serve an apprenticeship with Savile Row tailors before attending Gieves and Hawkes.

Soon after he rose to fame and eventually started his own label…and the rest is history.

His journey to success is an inspiration to us all; to all those who are struggling to start up a business or pushing hard for their creative venture to take off, we sometimes blame a lot of external factors for our lack of immediate success.

But McQueen showed that despite your background, upbringing or class, with enough enthusiasm and hard work you can push and really let your creativity take flight.

From studying under a number of fashion houses and then Savile Row, he didn’t take the conventional route to success but he had passion and a plan. But this is still a stark reminder of how frail life can be. That with all our success and through the perseverance and difficult journey we should try our best to maintain a balanced life. That includes time with our friends and family.

Today we pay tribute to his incredible work with this iconic skull print crew neck T-Shirt.

A simple white crew neck T-Shirt with signature McQueen skull print in this season’s paint effect. Represent a king of creativity with this stunning and captivating print. Made from 100% cotton this T-Shirt should be dry cleaned only. You’ll never want to ruin it now will ya?

Oki-Ni has limited stock so get your Bauer Turbos on.

Stay Stylish,
