Riot Couture

The man behind it is Adam Cooper who’s sparked a few trends in his time – he used to run the American Classics shop in London, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Best sellers include the ‘I Love Country Music’ print and ‘Hang The DJ’ – which, as well as being an homage to Morrissey, is aimed at ‘Nathan Barley-esque DJs’.

The latest killer tee is a print inspired by the French student riots of the 60s, featuring an image of a girl throwing a brick. It reads ‘La Beauté’ over the image and ‘est dans la rue’ underneath – meaning ‘The beauty is in the streets’.

‘A streetfighting youth with an eye for beauty really nails the Riot Couture ethos,’ says Cooper
