There are some fashion brands that are just a cut above the rest when it comes to making sexy apparel. I’m not talking dodgy peep-hole bras and nylon garters here, I mean t-shirts of course, and they don’t come much hotter than Cotton Mouth’s new collection simply entitled ‘Bad Girl Candy’. I’ve featured this Dutch label a few times now and I am always impressed from the outset whenever I visit their site, it’s as slick as a t-shirt store can get. Something akin to reading a copy of Cosmo whilst striding along a Parisian catwalk and obscuring the glare of the paparazzi camera flashes with a long black gloved hand.

If you’re female, love high fashion and high concept, if you want to look and feel like a star but without the strain of burning through your credit cards, then this is the label for you. They experiment with everything from inspiration to design to the cuts of their tees, pullovers and t-shirt dresses, and all of it successfully mind you. It’s all very well trying to out do the market but if you’re too far ahead or behind the fashion curve you can forget it. CottonMouth.nl always seem to be ‘bang on’ when it comes to the ever changing face of mainstream couture, it’s a tricky balance working to accessible budgets whilst squeezing out every little detail possible to create a ‘must have’ item. They do it every time.

Pin-ups, soul and sexuality are the inspiration for this limited collection. The shirts are designed in cooperation with artist Thijs Bierlaagh. Bierlaagh’s Sexual Healing tee mixes the latest graphic and fashion styles with a flashback to the 80′s accompanied by the lyrics of the late soul legend Marvin Gaye‘s classic anthem for lovers ‘Sexual Healing‘.

I’ll give you a glimpse of their latest t-shirt and t-shirt dress just to get you in the mood:- read more

If you fancy winning a t-shirt from Cottonmouth.nl the fabulous Dutch t-shirt label we reviewed recently then simply count the M&M’s and post your name, address, email and the correct answer to info@cottonmouth.nl – click the pic to see a close up! Now before you jump in you might want to have a think about it, not all of the candy looks like M&M’s, if I’m wrong just ignore me but I’m guessing that if it doesn’t say M&M it’s probably not :/

It’s enough to give you the munchies! This contest (amongst other events) is to mark the countdown to International T-Shirt Day being held on 21st June 2009 – which is being held in honour of the versatility of this specific apparel, and to give t-shirt fans a chance to express their love of the tee. The tradition of T-Shirt Day began in 2008 with a collection of events which took place on the first day of summer.

There are all sorts of ways to contribute to the celebration and you’re best off hooking up with them via Facebook for their open runways at Berlin and Boston and following the tweets on Twitter. Also check out last year’s events at Flickr! If you fancy starting up your own event then sign up here to reserve you place in t-shirt history!!!

Here’s a fascinating new label for the girls, a Netherlands fashion company called Cottonmouth have just released their first three limited edition t-shirts at their very very snazzy site Cottonmouth.nl. Founded by the original designers for another very popular Dutch tee label Sjeurt, they have expanded their horizons and ventured forth into the world of high female fashion, producing the best of the best quality tees for a discerningly artistic female market. Right now they have just three women’s t-shirts on offer but they’re well worth checking out, if only as a pointer for things to come. Expect stylish art shirts with an irreverent attitude to life, culture and style on the street. The store is available in Dutch and English and offers sweatshop free fashions (manufactured in USA and design, silkscreen printed tees and labels in the Netherlands), and all their orders are shipped in bio and recycled packaging, which is good to know.

Their first collection is entitled ‘MADemoiselle‘ and was inspired by the god of Pop Art Andy Warhol, yes I am a Warholian, a devotee of Andy’s work, (if you love Pop or Graffiti art, or any kind of contemporary graphic design you just can’t help it ;). Using portraits of women and girls of different decades on girly shirts Cottonmouth’s MADemoiselle them includes a scorcher of a tee, I love their take on Double Dutch – superbly designed and printed on a long comfortable T-shirt that features a stylish deeper plunged neck. Their experimentation with colours and cuts extends to Kiss me Cottonmouth, a tunic-dress that also doubles as a shirt and Fabulous Cottonmouth – a stylish long sleeved tee. All of their shirts are limited to just 20 pieces so if you’re female and want to wow your friends and acquaintances or just a stranger or two on the street I’d advice you rush over there now!

You can either order a tee at www.cottonmouth.nl or visit their store ‘KiBoCo’ in Bussum, the Netherlands. Whilst you’re at the site make sure to read up on all their latest info available at the Cottonmouth Community and stay informed about all their latest developments and designs

In case you’re living somewhere other than Holland their shipping costs are as follows:- The Netherlands: free shipping, Europe: ‚Ǩ 4,00 and outside Europe: ‚Ǩ12,50 which isn’t all that bad, although it would be nice if they encouraged a bulk deal, say buy three tees and offer free global shipping. or am I asking too much? Well actually it’s my gf who’s asking lol. Anyway let’s take a closer look at the MADemoiselle collection:- read more
