Yes that now-old chestnut is making a pitstop at Style Bubble and yes, it is all down to Borders and Frontiers making it happen (Karoline and Drew deserve virtual gold medals for all their hard work…). All the bestie bloggers are at it (or bestie IMO!) – Tavi, Queen Michelle, Laia, Arvida and Bonjour Girl. Then comes my feeble attempt. Others painted, illustrated and dug out old memories. I digi cam-ed some crap to print onto a tee.
Get this. I'm finally answering that pesky question that I bosh designers with. "What were you inspired by?" I'll try and make this press-release worthy. I was re-watching a cheesy-as-hell Canto TV series called I Have a Date with Spring when this 60s' Mandarin song popped up. Translated, it's "Diamond, Diamond I Love You". Wise words, indeed. I too want to dance around with a fake big plastic diamond and declare my love for it. Translated to a tee-idea that meant I tipped out my jewellery, found a bunch of fakey jewels to plaster all over my tee…. it's a mixed bag of Lanvin, Topshop, Tatty Devine, err Ponystep invites, Primark and other misc bits.
I've now run away with myself and in the mindset of doing a little series of tees with different bits of crapped poured on… one step at a time. The e-shop is now up and running and is to the right. I maybe be looking at a big fat zero on the sales front but at least I could say I did it… if only to answer that inspiration question…

2009-04-22 at 1:57 AMOh dear Susie,
Yours is the first Blogger tee I’ve actually felt like I desperately NEED. Being a broke fashion student, I normally wouldn’t spen $35 on a tee, but I’m placing my order now.
<3, Raquelle

2009-04-22 at 3:47 AMSussie – I heart this, the shiny aspect just captivates! 😉 Awesomely done!
Hannah
2009-04-22 at 4:27 AMI happen to think that shirt is perfect. I like that the print is understated enough to wear with anything, but at the same time could be the focal point of an outfit. I don’t normally like to wear graphics, but even I could rock this!

2009-04-22 at 4:43 AMyou’ve got to be kidding Susie, it’s freakin amazing! i would sooooo wear it!
AngieMontreal
2009-04-22 at 4:48 AMI feel like wearing your design will be like completing the designer version of the circle of life. It simply must be done.

2009-04-22 at 8:21 AMThat print is exactly what I had in my mind of what tee to buy.

2009-04-22 at 9:20 AMPhwoar! I love a good chain print. And this one has EXTRA sprinkles. It’d make a great tee dress if it were longer. Do B & F do longer?

Lucy
2009-07-29 at 9:20 PMSusie love the necklace tee!
Really alot like the insideout!
I saw there stuff a few weeks ago in Paris in the shop window of Colette with Gareth Pugh 🙂

FRED
2009-07-29 at 9:23 PMYeah , its alot like Insideout I saw there stuff in feathers in nightsbridge.
Is this a collaboration with Insideout?
susie_bubble
2009-07-29 at 9:29 PMLucy, FRED: No it’s not a colalboration with Insideout… sadly my techniques are very very primitive compared to Insideout’s prints which are far superior… my tee was just a way of bunging jewels on the tee without the physical weight of jewels… hopefully the Insideout peeps aren’t too affronted by the slight similiarity in concept…
