Hey before I ask you guys for opionions just have to introduce myself to the UK subforums here on tshirtforums. Am v new to the industry but learning every day

Back to the topic; what trends of t shirts do you think will become popular within the next 1/2 years here in the uk? I get the immpression brand wise people stick to the majors (Gio Gio, Superdry etc) that are mass produced hence cheap and always on sale i.e. value for money

Do you think the affliction inspired skulls ans gothic designs will cross over here from the US? I mean it happened to a degree with Ed Hardy. Ive been based in 4 major cities in England and there does to be a growing number of ppl spending more per branded garment from premium labels like Ed hardy, Elvis Jesus (upo and coming), amplified etc

I think skulls are becoming a staple part of tshirt fasion. As long as you find new ways of presenting them. For instance I noticed teenaged girls wearing skull motifs that has little bows on the side of the skull head and had hearts in the place of eyes and also had lipstick mouths.

I'm putting skulls in my next line but I'm making them look less threatening.

havent you noticed that the upper end of t shirt market in this country are less likely to go for loud/garish/bold designs comapred to the US where things like all over prints, bright colours, large logos tend to appear on even premium streetwear brands (Affliction, Konquest Clothing, Ed Hardy etc) and sell well

Just been doing market research into England and whilst it is true loud designs sell well the buyer tends to be more of the high st buyer (top shop, ASOS, topman, zara, river island etc) rather than the premium buyer who in this country sticks to upmarket couture brands (Armani, Viv Westwood, etc)

We think neons will become in vogue, and also the t-shirt cut to start changing back to loose 1980's style gradually.
