GUESTLIST 2016 / ISSUE 92 13 FASHION THTC's eco-ethos goes beyond the use of Hemp and organic cotton. What has been created is an environmentally, economically and socially sustainable business… and the social is really standing out lately. SLOGAN TEES? HOW ABOUT VOTING TEES? THTC, ranked as Ethical Consumer magazine's 'most ethical menswear label', will be recognisable from the parties full of smokin' beats they have thrown in celebration of their hemp clothing line. And from their clothing line seen on the fronts of musicians like The Scribes, DJ Switch, Ed Sheeran and actor Danny Dyer. Perhaps you have seen their latest statement - the RUN DMC inspired Corbyn Tee that has supported the Labour leader's grassroots campaign. And while CEO of THTC, Gav Lawson, fully intends to continue to glamourise the movement, and Jeremy Corbyn as a leader, there are more partnerships to be made. THTC's Partners-for-Change is an initiative to help consumers protect the environment with their purchases. Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) approached THTC about a collaboration with Gary Hodges - graphic artist, environmentalist and animal rights advocate - and Gary pledged one his most popular pencil drawings to a line of men's and women's organic cotton and white hemp t-shirts. The EIA now benefit directly from 25% of the sales of this line. The other elephant in the room - or, hopefully, in The Corridor is for King David. THTC's David Attenborough t-shirts were selling really well -- so, to give back, they approached his favourite charity to donate to World Land Trust (WLT) protection of the Mudahalli Corridor, a key migratory path for the Indian Elephant. Their political leanings are not just personal. THTC's promise to print on Hemp has been compromised by Brexit and the falling pound. Hemp is sold in dollars and as that currency rises, its use becomes unsustainable… if you believe in this material, then shout it from your chest. More appeals and partnerships are upcoming. More at Guestlist.net The Vulgar at the Barbican has the wow factor in spades. Christian Lacroix's bridal gown is a black and gold, timeless masterpiece that transcends wearability, catapaulted by its precision artistry into the realms of fantasy art. As is much of the haute couture and royal drapery on display. The point they make is quite nice too – that vulgarity has been a word used by the rich 'keepers of good taste' to keep the poor and 'vulgar' in check. It seemed a little hypocritical and commercially minded that the Barbican chose to display wow factor items which aren't really vulgar now, instead of fashion items or concepts that we truly see as vulgar now. Moschino might be pushing boundaries but it's accepted, let's be honest. One of Katie Price's dresses might not be haute couture but is fashion nonetheless. Isn't this our notion of vulgar? It seems it wasn't vulgar enough to grab the attention of the keepers of good taste. WHO ARE YOU CALLING VULGAR?
