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’ve seen a few t-shirt dresses on-line and have been really impressed with their construction – I think it may be the future for higher-priced women’s t-shirt wear – if you can get your designs right. Here’s are two of my fave designs – I can’t stitch to save my life – however I would be very interested in working with a t-shirt dress designer.
