We love fashion and we love doing good so it goes without saying that Frost loves FWP Clothing. A genius ethical t-shirt brand that lets you look good and do good at the same time. Frost loves.FWP Clothing is a brand new ethically-minded t-shirt brand that helps to put the everyday into perspective with 10% of profits from each of their First World Problem t-shirt designs supporting a different Third World Need.

Richard Reed, Co-founder of innocent drinks, said of FWP Clothing: “this is a quality idea”, and referring to the First World Problems the designs are based on, he said “I laughed out loud at the coffee and holiday ones”.

Founders Greg and Jimmy, colleagues at innocent drinks, took inspiration from brands like TOMS shoes, and came up with the idea while at the office gym thinking about how we too often find ourselves complaining about menial things when there are real issues faced by many around the world. They then pitched for, and won, the £1000 innocent scholarship, voted by peers, to test the idea and have since launched the business with this funding.

The launch range comprises of four designs in Men’s and Women’s variants, with one example being: ‘Wifi’s down again’, which supports Telecoms Sans Frontieres (Communications without borders) whom help refugees and disaster victims reconnect with their families using satellite phones.

The full range can be purchased through fwpclothing.com, shipped Worldwide, and you can follow FWP Clothing on Instagram, facebook and twitter: @fwpclothing

ENERGIE KICK START THEIR AW 12 ‘MAKE NOISE’ CAMPAIGN WITH UK INDIE ROCK BAND ‘RUBBER KISS GOODBYE’
For their AW12 collection, Italian menswear brand Energie has captured the urban feel of the brand with a new campaign titled “Make Noise” fronted by UK band Rubber Kiss Goodbye.

The Energie ”Make Noise” campaign previews in the brands anticipated AW12 collection, presenting
a new means of expression through dress that is fully reflective of Energie’s identity to stand out from the crowd. The “Make Noise” collection presents a mix of black and white urban-style graphic t-shirts that are not for the faint hearted and a denim collection synonymous with the cutting
edge British indie scene.

Rubber Kiss Goodbye are proving to be one of the UK’s hottest new bands around, consisting of Tara Ferry, son of English singer, musician and songwriter Bryan Ferry along with other band members Oliver and Peter. Energie also appointed the Swedish photographer Alex Lindhal to follow the band in their natural environment where they live and work, capturing their every move. In turn resulting in a range of retro black and white campaign shots reminiscent of backstage scenes of indie-rock groups on tour, identifying and exalting the spirit of Energie’s “Make Noise” collection, for an independent and unmistakable style that goes beyond mere seasonal trends.

Heretics launches with bold provocative collection

Posted on by

Few things in life beat a cool T-shirt and Heretics, created by London based designer Tom Wells, are bold and provocative. They are being worn by not only men but also women as ‘boyfriend’ style tee’s.

Female icons Daisy Lowe and Lana Del Ray have been great ambassadors of the brand some of the tee’s (skulls and astronaut prints) are penned by celebrated artist, Alex Konahin.

New menswear brand, Heretics, launches its debut collection of striking and distinctive printed T-shirts aimed at fashion-conscious men. With T-shirt weather fast approaching and trend forecasts looking bright, it is the perfect time for Heretics to introduce its first range, its flashes of colour, intricate detailing and sometimes risqué images complimenting current moods perfectly. Priced reasonably between £25-£30 per t-shirt the Heretics brand is already stirring an interest amongst other discerning gentlemen, its success stamped as inevitable.

By definition, Heretics refers to anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle. In a time where people are celebrating individuality and embracing boldness (Adele’s flicking of the finger at the Brits recently, for example), the idea of expressing oneself is paralleled throughout the Heretics line. Controversial, sexualised images of women are the feature of some of the pieces, one of which focuses on a woman holding a diamond-encrusted gun to her head with the words, ‘It’s All About Me’ below. Patriots will appreciate that the range is made in the UK in London in a bid to keep the company local; something which few brands can claim.

Some t-shirts in the collection feature urbane-detailed artwork by “Biro Man”, an artist who spent over a month creating pieces used in the range with, as the nickname suggests, a biro pen. A closer look at the Mexican skull design reveals the meticulous nature of his artwork with all of the artist’s precise detailing in all its glory. Other pieces in the collection are embellished with vividly intense hues. Flashes of colour used in the “Lust” and “Imagine” pieces are particularly striking and is a modern take on artist of the 60s and champion of the famous pop art movement, Andy Warhol.
