NATASHA KROLL FOR TENDER Co. UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON DESIGN ARCHIVES T SHIRT

£70.00 (inc VAT) £58.33 (exc VAT)

William's great aunt Natasha Kroll RDI, (Moscow 1912 - London 2004) was a display, graphic, and set designer. This Tshirt is produced in collaboration with the University of Brighton Design Archives, where Natasha's work is held, and is a companion to her prints in the mainline Tender Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. The drawing of a man blowing bubbles from a pipe is taken from one of Natasha's sketchbooks: the bubbles have been replaced with alternating Tender Co. Plautus faces and University of Brighton Stars.

In 1942 Natasha was appointed Display Manager at Simpson’s Picadilly, a position previously held by both Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Ashley Havinden. In 1956 she joined the BBC in the production design department, designing for many dramatic and factual programmes including Monitor. This led to film work, and in 1973 Natasha won a BAFTA for Best Art Direction, on Alan Bridges’ The Hireling.

The Tshirt itself is made out of cotton interlock (thicker and more robust than single jersey), cut in one piece with no shoulder seam. This follows research into early Twentieth Century underwear and sportswear. It has deep cotton rib at the cuffs and hem.

Also printed with this illustration are a bandana and tote bag. Similar Tshirts are hand-striped with black and purple logwood.
