Red Nose Day Hits the Catwalk!

A lot of you will already know that Vivienne Westwood have teamed up with Comic Relief to launch a range of iconic T-Shirts for Red Nose day.
(and for those who didn't yet know...she has!)

For the first time, Red Nose Day T-shirts have hit the catwalk at London Fashion Week. Seen at Vivienne Westwood’s Red Label Autumn/Winter 11 Show last night, the Shakespeare and Hogarth T-shirts were styled up with the latest looks. Designed by Vivienne Westwood especially for Red Nose Day 2011, these T-shirts are an eclectic collection of striking black and white prints that represent a unique fusion of humour and iconic historical images. The designs feature Rowan Atkinson as ‘Edmund’ & Miranda Richardson as ‘Queenie’ from the Blackadder series,William Shakespeare,The Laughing Audience by Hogarth, a punk girl and a Louis XVI lady. To own a piece of fashion history, whilst supporting Red Nose Day, get your limited edition T-shirt now. Priced at £9.99 for unisex or £14.99 for the fitted styles with at least £5.00 going to Comic Relief. The T-shirts are available now from TK Maxx Stores nationwide and online at www.tkmaxx.com. Red Nose Day is on Friday 18th March 2011.

I love the designs on the tees! So quirky and oh so Vivienne! I think my favourite is the Shakespeare one. I don’t live near a TK MAXX so haven’t yet picked up a shirt for myself (but I plan to order online soon) but I’ve seen them in person and they are just awesome!

Which design is your favourite?


Shakespeare

Queeni


Punk
Hogarth


Blackadder

If you already have a tee, how have you been wearing it?

I saw these today in town and the Shakespare one is my favourite one too. Just a shame its in a manly shape. I think I am going to get one on payday.
I brought the Stella McCartney red nose t-shirt a few years ago and still wear it all the time.

I got the Blackadder one a few weeks ago and I utterly love it. I was stuck between that and the Queenie one but I wouldn't object to the Hogarth one or the Louis XVI lady either!

The punk one for me, true to our Viv's origins. I'd have to get the scissors out on it before I wore one and customise it. xxx

They have most of these in the TKM in the Mall in Bristol - I could happily own most of these. Love Viv! Btw, quite excited that i'm not the only person who likes Dickens - who knew!? x

I bought the Queeni tee a couple of weeks ago and I love it! I've been wearing it, highly unimaginatively, with jeans and a cardi. Inspiration, thy name is certainly not Kim! xxx

We all used to be great fans o blackadder so getting those tshirts will be a must in our house!
