Tucking nicely into the new season's focus on the theme of 'circus' this shirt features vintage trapeze artistes doing their thing amongst long, skinny wires. It's nice how a certain delight and freedom has been taken in drawing the apparatus to form an elegant quasi-striped ground on which the small, intensely coloured gymnasts arch and dive. The colours are very saturated, recalling those in Victorian circus posters which this design celebrates - looking closely we can see that the costumes are indeed from that vivid age. A single button cuff shirt which is fresh and practical with a good dose of close-up fascination.
