Fine Art Print : Frankies T-shirt goes to pieces. Suddenly, this summer
Fine Art Prints from Memory Lane
Frankies T-shirt goes to pieces. Suddenly, this summer
Frankies T-shirt goes to pieces. Suddenly, this summer, poor Frankies lost his voice. Remember the time when you couldn t walk down any beach or into any bar without being bombarded with messages from the boys who were going to Hollywood? Smash hits by Holly Johnson and his band played non-stop in the discos. And what Frankie said, went across the chests of the country. Official Frankies - peak T-shirts, with slogans like Relax, Don t Do It, War, Hide Yourself and Arm The Unemployed were the best-ever selling fashion craze. However, the Frankie T-shirt can live again with the help of some scissors some glue, the odd stitch or two - plus a bit of ingenuity. And second time around it can positively sizzle as a sarong, bikini or sawn-off top. If 84 was the year Frankie went to Hollywood, 85 is the year they can go to pieces - in the sexiest possible way. Typically Tropical: Wrap-around sarong makes exciting tribal wear. The flowery top is an optional extra for more modest sarongsters. August 1985 P017445

EDITORS COMMENTS
Frankie's T-shirt, once a symbol of rebellion and pop culture dominance, now lies in tatters. This summer has taken its toll on poor Frankie as he finds himself voiceless amidst the chaos. Do you remember when every beach and bar was filled with messages from boys dreaming of Hollywood? The catchy tunes of Holly Johnson's band echoed through the discos, while Frankie's words adorned chests across the nation. The official Frankies - peak T-shirts with slogans like 'Relax, Don't Do It', 'War', 'Hide Yourself' and 'Arm The Unemployed' - became an unprecedented fashion craze. But fear not! With some scissors, glue, a few stitches, and a touch of ingenuity, the Frankie T-shirt can be resurrected. Its second life holds endless possibilities as it transforms into a sizzling sarong, bikini or even a daring sawn-off top. If 1984 marked Frankie's journey to Hollywood stardom, then 1985 is the year they can go to pieces in the most alluring way possible. Embrace your inner tropical spirit with this wrap-around sarong that exudes excitement and tribal vibes. For those seeking modesty in their sarong attire, an optional flowery top completes the ensemble. Let us reminisce about August 1985 when Mirrorpix captured this moment on Memory Lane Prints – a testament to both fashion trends gone by and our ability to reinvent them for today.
