They’ve each picked out their three favourite 50\/50 designs, so take note and hit up the 50\/50 page to score yourself a limited edition tee before it\u2019s too late. All campaigns end 11:59pm GMT on 19th March, and don\u2019t forget 50% proceeds go to UK youth cancer charity, Trekstock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Christopher Shannon<\/h3>\n\"\"\n\"\"\n

There\u2019s an immense amount of skill in being able to turn the monotonous every day into something desirable, but 8 years on from his first collection of re-worked shell suits and sports pieces inspired by Northern market stalls, menswear designer Christopher Shannon shows no sign of slowing when it comes to reinventing the norm.<\/p>\n

We particularly loved his capsule collection for Buffalo Zine that launched this January. “Hot Merch” cleverly twisted the slogans of Coca-Cola and Lilt as a sarcastic take on the language of advertising and mass consumption. Shannon picks his favourite 50\/50 designs below.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\u201cAlways a fan of a downer so Jim Stoten<\/a> get\u2019s my pick\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\u201cI like Tim Head\u2019s design<\/a> because it\u2019s simple, and a bit creepy\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"\n

\u201cI\u2019d buy Jim O\u2019Raw\u2019s tee<\/a>, I love a ciggie on a t-shirt\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking inspiration from DIY underground culture and translating that into graphic t-shirts that adorn hangers in the likes of Goodhood and Dover St. Market, Brain Dead are arguably the frontrunners in a saturated industry of streetwear brands. Co-founder Ed Davis, is no stranger to Everpress either and has just launched his 10th campaign with us under the alias Ratbrain<\/a>.\u00a0We couldn\u2019t think of anyone more suited to pick out their three favourite 50\/50 tees.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“Colophon Foundry\u2019s<\/a> choice of font is great. Maybe they’ll send it to me for giving them a shout-out?\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“I know Tim Head <\/a> and like owning t-shirts from people I know”.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“I also know Trevor Jackson, I loved the Format Project <\/a> that he did. I\u2019d buy his 50\/50 design as I\u2019m such a sucker for good merch”.<\/p>\n

King of t-shirts, Henry’s brand House Of Holland first burst onto the scene in 2006 with his 80\u2019s inspired Fashion Groupie collection – bright and witty slogan tee\u2019s which propositioned fellow designers. It was impossible to miss his 10th anniversary runway show last year, which saw an army of models stomping down the runway in t-shirts that stated \u201cI\u2019m yours for a tenner, Kendall Jenner\u201d and \u201cLets breed Bella Hadid\u201d to name just a couple. We were excited to check in with him and pick his brains about the 50\/50 collection.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“As you may know I\u2019m not adverse to a typographic tee design. I\u2019m into this one by Le Gun<\/a>. The bold, monochromatic design and the distressed lettering make it feel new and original”.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“I like Weirdo Clan\u2019s tee<\/a>, the two-sided print reminds me of the Fat Willy\u2019s surf tees that I used to wear as a kid. I\u2019ve got a mate called Weirdo too, so I might buy this one as a present”.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

“As I said, I\u2019m a fan of a good slogan tee and I love the sentiment of Lucinda Ireland\u2019s design<\/a>. I also like the base colour – it really sets off my eyes!”.<\/p>\n

Shop Christopher, Ed and Henry\u2019s 50\/50 selections here<\/a>, but be quick they\u2019re only available until 11:59pm GMT on 19th March.<\/p>\n
