Despite clearly being far too old to be in the intended demographic (heck, I watch Gossip Girl too, so I’m basically a teenage girl in my viewing habits anyway), I am a big fan of Skins, and apparently this shirt was worn by JJ in the show (or at least in the promo shots for the show), and it’s actually pretty cool, good to see another British TV show sourcing their designs from the UK, and from a POD nonetheless.

Its taken me until now to realise just how great
Skins is, I really think that its the best British TV show on at the moment, and I watch a lot of TV, so I
must know what I’m talking about. So I was pretty excited when I noticed that
Chateau Roux was all over Skins like a rash, and a very sexy rash at that.
I noticed Chris (played by Joe Dempsie, pictured) wearing an ‘I [heart] hate’ tee in the 4th episode and realised that it was from CR, then in episode 5 when Jal (Larissa Wilson) wore a badass looking Chateau necklace (pictured above, with a little box incase you didn’t know what a necklace is) I figured I was compelled to write a post about it. To their credit, the creators of Skins maintain a blog that has a style section on it where people discuss what was worn by who in different episodes, apparently prompted by the volume of request they receive on the subject. They don’t link to where the stuff is purchasable, but it certainly does make things easier in case you are desperate to look like Maxxie or Sid.
*Excuse the pictures, my TV has developed a yellow spot problem with a broken colour tube, and trying to correct the colours in Photoshop made them look a bit funny.*
Both items are available through the Chateau Roux website, and possibly in their retail store at 17 Newburgh Street, London (near Carnaby Street).
