Presenting an individual take on what can be done with the fabric of t-shirts and fleece jerseys, two young designers from the US are hoping to make their mark on the fashion industry, according to a report.
Kyoshia Yoshi Williams and Ebony Thurman, both 23, have been customising their own t-shirts since they were young.
However, two years ago, the pair decided to take it a step further and establish their own company Trois Chemises Couture, reports the Chicago Defender.
“Yoshi always set all the trends in fashion throughout high school,” Ms Thurman told the newspaper.
“So eventually we both said why not just do our own clothing line since people are following our designs already anyway.”
Speaking of customising her own t-shirts, Ms Williams said she took a chance and risked trying “to do something that not everyone else is doing”.
In related news, the London Design Festival is currently running a t-shirt design competition until the end of September.
CANBERRA, 11 ago (Xinhua) — Rebiya Kadeer es una mentirosa habitual y una cínica al respecto. En el Club Nacional de Prensa en la capital de Australia, Canberra, la presidenta del Congreso Mundial Uygur (CMU) volvió a mentir, justo frente a los reporteros.
Kadeer acusó a las autoridades de eliminar de las escuelas las lecciones de idioma uygur y de obligar a los uygures a aprender chino. “Creo que el gobierno chino debe detener su política invasora de educación de un solo idioma (el chino) y permitir que los estudiantes y sus padres elijan cualquier idioma que aspiren a aprender”, dijo a través de un intérprete.
Sin embargo, de manera interesante Kadeer hizo sus declaraciones en uygur, el idioma que no habría podido hablar si el gobierno chino la hubiera privado del derecho de aprenderlo. China, dijo Kadeer, ha adoptado “políticas parciales hacia las minorías étnicas” en los 60 a?os pasados, explotado a los uygures y ha conducido a todos ellos a un “estado de extrema pobreza”.
Pero ella misma alguna vez fue una “millonaria” en Xinjiang y se convirtió en una prueba fehaciente de las políticas preferenciales de China hacia las minorías étnicas allá. Empezando con un peque?o negocio en la década de los 80, Kadeer se forjó su camino para convertirse en la mujer más acaudalada de Xinjiang antes de violar la ley china y de ser condenada a prisión.
Sin embargo, durante su presentación en el club de prensa, Kadeer continuó diciendo mentiras en un vano intento por cubrir los hechos reales y sus intenciones separatistas. Durante todo su “discurso”, Kadeer llamó a la región autónoma uygur de Xinjiang “Turkestán Oriental” y proclamó públicamente que Xinjiang era un “país independiente” antes de 1949 y que las tropas chinas “invadieron” y se “anexaron” la región.
Los libros compilados por historiadores occidentales nunca dijeron que Xinjiang fue un país independiente antes de 1949, sin mencionar que no existe ningún registro tan ridículo de ello en la historia china. ?Entonces no constituye un montón de mentiras que Kadeer diga que no busca la secesión ni la independencia?
Las mentiras, incluso repetidas mil veces, siguen siendo mentiras. Un mentiroso torpe genera la mofa de los perspicaces y cada mentira que Kadeer dice será una muestra de su verdadera naturaleza separatista.

The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand is planning to launch a line of T-Shirts next month to raise awareness and funds for the organisation. Working with designer label The Hinitiative, four designs will be available for men and women with slogans promoting mental health and the benefits of talking about it with others.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to get our message that mental health is everybody’s business out to a wider audience through these funky designs and to raise money for our cause at the same time,” said Mental Health Foundation Fundraising Manager Ruth Button.
All T-Shirts are made from 100% cotton and were not made in sweatshops. Protecting the environment and promoting a fair and safe workplace lead to a better quality of life and better mental health. “It is a fantastic opportunity for the public to buy a great looking t-shirt while at the same time, raising money for the Mental Health Foundation and awareness about mental health,” said Hinitiative director, Li Ling Ng.
T-shirts delivering a political message is a hit these days along with benefiting charities with the sales of these t-shirts. You may see people walking around with expressive t-shirts that make a statement for a certain cause. Many of these t-shirts are not only voicing opinions but they are also eco-friendly and a portion of the purchased shirt is donated to charity.
One of these t-shirts is the new Social Atelier t-shirt. Globe and Mail Update reports, these Social Atelier t-shirts make the perfect gift for someone who is an eco-conscious activist. Currently, Social Atelier is running a campaign for genocide in Darfur. The shirts are printed with the words, “Stop Genocide”.
The Topshop is the United Kingdom’s popular retailer of trendy and chic inexpensive clothing. Arcadia Group owns Topshop and had announced they planned on opening the first USA outlet in the fall of 2008. Instead, the long anticipated opening has been moved to sometime in March 2009.
The first Topshop is going to opening in Soho in New York City. The building where the store will be located is 150 years old and has 45,000 square feet. Preparing the building for occupancy has turned into a more extensive process than planned. The interior of the building had to be gutted and completely reworked. New floors and escalators are being added. Arcadia Group has learned quickly that things work differently in the USA than they do in the UK. Sir Philip Green is the owner of Arcadia and he said, “America is a new territory for us and we have to get it exactly right.”
The Managing Director of Shirtworks is Arron Harnden and he said this: “The charity offer has been a huge success and it feels really good for us too as ethical trade is such an important issue to us. Many of our customers have been so enthusiastic about our principles, and with all of the excitement surrounding the World Fair Trade Day, we made the decision to extend the offer to all promotional clothing production.” Shirtworks also sells hoodies and sweatshirts. Promotional clothing is used by a number of schools, clubs and charities to promote their name or cause. Mr. Harnden said, “We just want to help people make a choice that is fairer to other countries and the environment.”(c) Image by Banjo Ari, www.sxc.hu/
