Thatche T-shirts

Latin American revolutionary hero Ernesto Che Guevara has been the increasingly familiar face on a billion T shirts ever since his death in 1967. Conversely there is still, as yet, no specific iconic image of Britain's first Female Prime Minister, the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. Presenting her sympathetically as young and attractive and against a blue background while at the same time appropriating the trappings and posture of the Che icon, not only playfully offends the political sensibilities of both camps, but more importantly extends the debate to question our current obsession with celebrity iconography itself. The intention is a deliberately gentle post-mod ambiguity.
