New vintage Beatles shirt designs heading into stores
Some new Beatles shirts will be showing up in U.S. stores next week to
accompany the release of the much-awaited Beatles vinyl box on Tuesday, a spokesman for Live Nation, the Beatles North
American merchandiser, told Beatles Examiner Thursday.
The
new TRUNK! vintage high end shirts will
retail for around $60 and be sold exclusively at Bloomingdale's. They feature
designs with pictures taken mainly from various Beatles singles and albums. As
pictured in this story, there are designs from Japanese 45 RPM singles for
“Can't Buy Me Love” and “Yellow Submarine,” the “Let It Be” album, and American
Beatles albums “Beatles '65,” “Meet the Beatles,” “The Beatles' Second Album”
and “Beatles VI,” plus one shirt with a concert ticket montage.
That went down like a Yellow Submarine! Ringo Starr jumps in front of Jim Carrey after he shows mock Beatles T-shirt with faces of Dumb And Dumber characters
It
seems Jim Carrey has yet to read How To Win Friends And Influence People.
For
the funnyman caused Ringo Starr to burst into mock outrage after he showed him
a Beatles T-shirt featuring the face of the Dumb And Dumber characters at an
event in New York on Monday.
The
game for a laugh drummer then jumped in front of the Hollywood star to cover up
the offending garment, which had replaced the faces of his bandmates George
Harrison and Paul McCartney with the franchise's Lloyd Christmas and Harry
Dunne.
It's curtains for Katy's stylist! Perry makes a fashion faux pas in unflattering dress and matching cloak at Beatles event in LA
When
it comes to her personal fashion style, it seems that Katy Perry is as quirky
as her music.
The Roar singer chose an interesting ensemble as she performed at
The Night That Changed America event on Monday, which appeared to be made from
an pair of old curtains.
The night was a 'Grammy Salute To The Beatles' and Katy was
certainly feeling nostalgic when it came to the wardrobe department.

Vans Collaborates With The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' on First-Ever Footwear Capsule
Pharrell's hat may have gotten most of the fashion attention at last night's Grammy Awards, but there was another major style coup waiting in the wings: a new collaboration between The Beatles and Vans. A nice addendum to Paul and Ringo's Grammy performance, don't you think?
Created to mark the 50th anniversary of Beatlemania sweeping the nation, the shoes boast Yellow Submarine graphics from both the album and the animated film (drawn by modern artist Heinz Edelmann). The sneakers launch on March vans.com, and retail for $65–$75 per pair.

This is the first time a footwear brand has ever been granted permission to use The Beatles' album art on a shoe, because all you need is love, but a cute pair of high tops can't hurt, either.
60s Fashion Style – 1964 Mod Dresses, Go Go Boots, Quant, Beatles
Mix Go Go boots, mod mini dresses, Mary Quant, Space Age fashion, Beatlemania and Carnaby Street, and you get the fab British Invasion that took over 1960s clothing, music, and culture in the US.
The 1960s Youthquake
1964 should be declared the official beginning of the 1960s Youthquake. This was the year of the Beatles' invasion, Courrèges' go go boots, Mary Quant's mini skirts, and just about anything else that manufacturers could hype to the hordes of Baby Boomers, who had just stomped their feet and thrown a countrywide hissy fit... in an effort to demand hip, youthful, British-inspired fashion. Fortunately, designers saw dollar signs and gave them what they wanted.
