Stolen Girlfriends Club has ordered 1000 jam jars for its Sydney party, but there won't be any Stolen Generation T-shirts

Next Thursday, Auckland hipster collective Stolen Girlfriends Club will stage its second Sydney shindig in five months, this time to unveil a new short film shot by renowned Kiwi snapper Derek Henderson, to promote SGC’s new Heavy Metal jewellery line. The film stars photogenic Kiwi lovebirds Dempsey Stewart and Jasper Seven modelling the inaugural collection, We Are Ugly But We Have The Music (below). Frockwriter has previously documented SCG’s predilection towards serving alcohol in jam jars at events and next week will be no different with, we are told, 1000 jam jars ordered for the occasion. One thing we won’t be seeing at the event, however, is an “I belong to the Stolen Generation” T-shirt, as appeared on SGC's runway in Auckland last month. 

You've got to hand it to Supré

They do have a knack for a catchy, opportunistic, T-shirt graphics.

Supré hearts Michael Jackson

Well that was quick. The King of Pop has yet to be laid to rest - or plastinated performing the moonwalk, pending which reports you believe - but already today in Sydney, Australian highstreet chain Supré had an $18 'I (broken) <3 Michael' T front and centre at its Westfield Bondi Junction boutique. According to a Supré sales consultant the shirt was whipped up at lightning speed by a local supplier. Stand by for a raft of global Jackson tribute merchandise. After the shot was tweeted by frockwriter, Real Living magazine deputy ed Natalie Walton offered the following theory for Supré's turbo speed-to-market: "maybe leftover from Hutchence's death???"

Urban Outfitters marks down Lagerfeld - turns him into Powerpuff Girl?

There's been a bit of net buzz overnight concerning a Karl Lagerfeld dedication T done by US streetwear chain Urban Outfitters. First revealed by Nylon magazine, I have since spotted the story on several blogs. The shirt is pretty cute. I'd be curious to know however if Lagerfeld gets the joke.

Although according to Nylon the T-shirt was selling for US$19.99, Catwalk Queen spotted it on the Urban Outfitter's UK website and reports it was marked down:

"from £28 to £14.99. Bargain!"

Catwalk Queen illustrates its item with a shot from Urban Outfitters' UK website:



According to Urban Outfitters' UK website however a few moments ago (the site was inaccessible this morning for some reason), the "Truly Madly Deeply Karl Roll Cuff Tee" has in fact been marked down further still: from £28.00 to £9.99.

Beyond Urban Outfitters' advertised upcoming collab with Luella Bartley, it's not 100percent clear if the Lagerfeld T-shirt is an official collaboration with Lagerfeld.

In spite of the fact that Urban Outfitters apparently couldn’t give the Ts away before, is its Karl Lagerfeld T now destined to become a collector’s item on eBay? Just like the H&M Karl Lagerfeld T done at the time of Lagerfeld's collaboration collection for the fast fashion giant - a T-shirt which bore a signed self-portrait sketch of the Chanel creative director.

All these T-shirt dedications raise a few other questions.

Could Lagerfeld possibly be turning into the new Che Guevara?

Or is he just the latest addition to Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls lineup?

Urban Outfitters' toon take on Lagerfeld bears an uncanny resemblance to the US cartoon characters Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup - "Three little girls in kindergarten who have superhero powers".

I couldn’t resist the temptation for a little digital mischief.

So without further adieu - and with Buttercup taking a cure somewhere in eastern Europe to make room for Kaiser Karl - I give you the new, luxe version of The Powerpuff Girls.
