katharine hamnett

Founded in 1979 by British designer Katharine Hamnett, the eponymous label became a defining force in 1980s fashion through its oversized, block-letter slogan T-shirts. Hamnett, a pioneer of fashion activism, used her platform to broadcast political and environmental messages, most notably with the "CHOOSE LIFE" and "58% DON'T WANT PERSHING" tees that became cultural touchstones worn by pop icons like George Michael.
