T-Shirt Party is more than just a t-shirt company, it’s a movement. T-Shirt Party is trying to recreate the whole notion of [tourist t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order)—one tee at a time.

Founder Stan Still says that “T-Shirt Party reps [London town](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-x-anya-hindmarch), our hometown. No boutiques, no marketing campaigns, no hyped up nonsense, just T-shirts for the people.”

The T-Shirt Party work method is much like a revolving door: every week for one year, the group will release one new [white tee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-tee), along with a video that evokes the reference or story behind its design.
