They only condition being that the designs fit in to their seasonal themes. They seek out the very best in design talent the world over to create artwork to feature on their great fitting T-shirts. So far everyone from new artists to bands such as O.Children and Gold Teeth and the fashion designer Robert Cary Williams have collaborated with the label to create a whole host of completely unique and limited edition pieces.The latest theme to inspire the range is ‘Folk Fantasy’ and from this, what has emerged is a collection of edgy and individual T-shirts to suit every individual.

Boom Tee by Robert Cary-Williams

His collections have been worn by the likes of Roisin Murphy, Keira Knightly, Kate Moss, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor and David Bowie.He now brings his expertise to Collect London with the popular Men’s BOOM Pack Tee.

A Nagy Toll Scoop Tee by Richard Fairhead

I don’t have much on Fairhead except that he’s a great British illustrator with a superb sense of humour. Just check out his blog to be sure. Here’s a very cool retro tee by him, with the weirdest name I’ve come across in a while, the Nagy Toll Tee :p
