Talking tees

MANILA, Philippines - Like a tattoo, the slogan t-shirt has become the celebrity’s weapon of choice in order to make a statement without a word. Think of Winona Ryder’s Free Winona and more recently, Ashley Tisdale wearing a Celfie tee.

Designers have taken notice, as can be seen in the spring/summer 2014 Fashion Week runways: Alexander Wang with his humorous and nerdy parental advisory message, Vivienne Westwood with her environmental commentaries as well as Kenzo with his message against polluted oceans and overfishing, and Jeremy Scott with his audacious and sassy slogans.

At SM’s Girls Teens Wear department, statement tees speak the language of today’s young generation with buzzwords like Selfie and Yolo, complete with hashtags. Be loud and proud, and leave your own mark with the statement tees available at GTWBYSM at The SM Store.
