Katharine Hamnett meeting with then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher wearing her own t-shirt with the slogan "58% DON'T WANT PERSHING", a reference to polls showing public opposition in the United Kingdom against the basing of Pershing missiles in the country

Katharine Hamnett is a British fashion designer famously known for her oversized t-shirts donning political messages in large block letters. they were a massive hit in the '80s and have been worn by celebs like Naomi Campbell and Sarah Jessica Parker. Hamnett stresses the adoption of ethical methods of clothes making by the fashion industry. she also pushes for a greater presence of models of colour on the catwalk stating: "the catwalks are full of white dogs, cosmetic companies don't like black models - the racist bitches. i have no idea why when it's obvious that black girls are just so genuinely much more beautiful than caucasians, who have clearly got the short straw. black girls have much better body shapes and it's such a shame. i just think there should be a bit more of a balance."
Katharine Hamnett t-shirt slogans (descriptions come from her official website):

EDUCATION NOT MISSLES: tax-payers want their money spent on education rather than on expensive weapons that we’re never likely to use. education is the source of a nation’s wealth.

BRING BACK GOD: nobody knows how life started. darwinism is just part of the answer and all other possibilities have to be considered equally including a supernatural one. the right to believe in a god is one of our civil liberties.

STOP AND THINK: this was about the war on terror. instead of bombing the country that Osama bin Laden was visiting it would’ve been better to ask why these people hate us so much. have they been driven to this point by oppression, exploitation and injustice and racism and our hideous colonial past and post-colonial present?

NO WAR: war is the worst environmental disaster ever. the money spent on war could deliver fresh water and medicine to every child in the world.
protest is essential to maintaining democracy in this world. and i'm not sure about you, but i plan to do it in style.
