Amazing, Cult Movie Tees
There's nothing we like better than snuggling up on the sofa under a blanket with a huge bucket of salty popcorn watching old school movies when the rain is pounding down outside! Our love of all the cult classics, has fed our insatiable desire to buy as many amazing movie tees as possible. Here is a little glimpse of some of the highlights.
The 80's heralded the arrival of a group of teens who made a massive impact on the movies of the day. Stars such as Matthew Broderick, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy,Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez acted out their angst in a series of coming of age films.
Business at the front, Party at the back!
Super exciting news at Truffle Towers this week! We have been in touch with the king of mullets from the wonderfully wacky 90's kids show Fun House, none other than the phenomenal Pat Sharp!
We've got so many fond memories from watching Fun House when we were younger, it was always my dream to go on the show. I would have loved to run laps on the go karts, speed down the Skelter Belter, traverse the Danger Net, target the trash cans and of course meet the legendary Pat Sharp!
We are very proud to announce that we are going to be working on a few tees dedicated to Pat and his admirable and awe-inspiring blonde mullet. We are already busy cooking up some great ideas and slogans, but were also wondering if there was anything that you would love to see on a Pat Sharp T-Shirt. What are your fondest memories of Pat? Let us know, we would love to hear from you!
Return to the Goblin City, our new Labyrinth collection!
Itâs been an exciting week here at Truffle Towers, mainly thanks to the long awaited launch of our brand new, official and exclusive range of Labyrinth T-shirts. Itâs something weâve wanted to be able to represent on the site for what feels like years so getting the opportunity to work closely with the amazing Jim Henson Company to create our very own tribute range has been totally awesome in every way. Weâve been tweaking and perfecting this collection over the last few months so itâs been such a great feeling to finally unleash the tees to all you TruffleShufflers and we are so happy with the fantastic response theyâve all received!
As one of the designers of the range, it was a great experience to return to the fantastical world of the Goblin City and really get under the skin of one of the all-time ultimate 80âs classics! We started with David Bowie and his genius turn as the Goblin King Jareth and we were of course inspired by his outrageous fashion (those skin tight leggings made a particularly big impressionâ¦) and the ultra catchy song from the film (Dance Magic Dance!). After playing with lots of ideas, we plumped for a really cool flyer style design for what would clearly be the coolest club night in the world! Check it out belowâ¦.
We also had to feature Ludo, the bumbling best friend we wish we all had, and of course that cute cheeky worm who was always around to say âEllo!â
Although we knew you guys loved the worm as much as we did, even we were surprised by just how much â this design pretty much sold out after 24 hours on the site and has even been snapped up by the fabulous Una Healy from The Saturdays who even tweeted a pic of her wearing it!
Who Ya Gonna Call?
This week we've just launched a brand new collection of Ghostbusters T-shirts from Fame and Fortune. Of course this got everyone in the office buzzing, but I was most excited of all cause designing these Tees was my first ever project for TruffleShuffle! Seeing the final results of my work is such a great feeling and it took me back to when I had just started working here as a designer. For me there couldnât have been a more perfect starting point as I am a huge fan of the classic film, I remember that I couldnât wait to get started!
The first step towards building a new collection of tees is to really research your subject, so luckily for me it was the perfect opportunity to spend an evening in and watch the film again for the 100th time, any excuse will do! I knew there were a number of bases I had to cover, everyone loves Stay Puft, Slimer is a definite and we really wanted to see the Ecto-1, but it was really useful (and fun) to see the film again as it refreshed my mind and reminded me of some really classic catchphrases and scenes. It was the best way to get me back in the Ghostbusting state of mind!
As well as the ultra popular âWho ya gonna call?â and âI ainât afraid of no ghostâ I loved the phrases âDonât cross the streamsâ and âWhen the light is green the trap is cleanâ and was determined to get them included on one of the tees!
I also included the Ghostbusters Montage design to show our four heroes fighting against some of the monsters from the film as well as a special appearance from the ghost best know from the films main logo!
