We love TruffleShuffle tees just as much as you do!
Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!
First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)
Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt. I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.
Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them. Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!
What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe! It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.
Cult Classic Grease Turns 35 Years Old Today!
We know right! Where does that time fly? It's true though guys, this cult classic flick is blowing out an impressive 35 candles on their retro cake as it celebrates another anniversary since it's first US release.
Full of classic songs, amazing dance moves and all round love story goodness featuring an insanely handsome Travolta and ever gorgious Olivia Newton-John, it's east to see why this film took the world by storm and is as much loved now as it ever was.
Every guy wanted hit moves and every girl wanted that style and figure, this icon is based on Warren Casey's and Jim Jacobs's 1971 musical of the same name about two lovers Danny and Sandy in a 1950s high school. Danny, leader of the greaser gang "T-Birds" of Rydell High, falls in love with a goody two shoes girl Sandy from Australia over the summer but when the summer ends, the two think they'll never see each other again. However they're both wrong! When the two later discover that they attend the same school, there is a lot of ideas over whether they can still be together since it's pretty uncool for hard man Danny to be in love with a goody goody like Sandy. However the two, against all odds, manage to stay together. Then there's THAT graduation! Sandy changes in a way no one expected and becomes some super cool hot chick who falls into the arms of her dream man Danny.
So ever wonder where they all are now? What they look like? Check out below as we catch up with the cast and see just what happened to those guys...
