Remaining on the theme of the Olympics and the exclusives trail, fashion retailer Matches has commissioned a host of up and coming young British Designers to create T-shirts celebrating British Haute Couture, with reference to London 2012 and the Jubilee.
All proceeds from the sale go to the admirable Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund, which has helped raise a staggering £8.43 million for people living in poverty and challenging circumstances in London. Since its launch a year ago, it has contributed towards 568 groups and distributed £3 million to charitable and community-led projects in every London borough. It's a great cause and fantastic that so many of our young talented designers have joined force to back the plight to help those less fortunate than ourselves. The designs which are in limited editions of 100, cost £60 and can be bought online. They are understandably selling out fast, with orders coming in from all around the world, so don't delay in snapping up your piece of designer kindness.

Jonathan Saunders, one of the most sought-after designers on the fashion circuit at the moment was among the first to join the project. Refiguring the much loved peony print from his latest catwalk collection with Olympic hues, it is an injection of blossoming colour that will bring joy to even the dullest of days. The master Scot said: “It is incredibly important for me as a Londoner to be a part of a cause that assists those in need through funding and that helps aid in education, health and unemployment for those less fortunate.”
Best known for his ultra feminine florals loved by many a celebrity including the Duchess of Cambridge, Erdem has triumphed with this floral pom pom-esque tribute to the games. Dressed up or down it is a sure winner and bound to spark a stampede of well wishers wanting to get their hands on a piece of designer history.
