Are you wearing the UK’s favourite T shirt?

T shirt lovers are invited to tell online UK T shirt museum what their favourite T shirt is and why.

[ClickPress, Wed Aug 02 2006] UK online T shirt museum www.tshirts.me.uk is trying to find the UK’s favourite T shirt. Summer 06 is here and everyone is wearing great looking (and not so great looking) T shirts and the T shirt museum wants to find out which is Britain’s favourite T shirt and is inviting T shirt lovers to submit details of their favourite T shirts, along with reasons why.

‘T shirts are a very personal thing,’ founder of the museum, Jonathan Powell, said. ‘We want to discover what T shirts people love and why. Hopefully we will be able to come to a definitive answer to the question What is the UK’s favourite T shirt.’

Anyone who has a favourite T shirt is invited to visit the T shirt museum at www.tshirts.me.uk and submit details of the T shirt that they love.

T shirt art is a form of contemporary art that must be documented. T shirts are more ephemeral than other forms of artworks and so it is vital that we try and make sure that T shirt art is not lost to future generations.

T shirts hold memories better than other items of clothing and when people have a favourite T shirt they are emotionally attached to it in a way that they rarely are to a collared shirt or a vest. ‘We want to document and record T shirt art, and delve into the complex relationships that exist between people and their T shirts.

The T shirt museum can be visited at http://www.tshirts.me.uk

The T shirt museum is an online project to keep a permanent record of the ephemeral art of T shirts. ‘T shirts are one of the most important contemporary cultural phenomena’ Jonathan Powell, one of the founders of the T shirt Museum said, ‘But it has been ignored by mainstream art institutions. We are filling the gap and making sure that T shirt art and design remains accessible to everyone.’
