If you want to add a bit of attitude to your wardrobe(衣柜) this summer, a slogan T-shirt may be just what you are looking for.

Slogan T-shirts, also known as message T-shirts, have long been a means of telling the world what we care about. For instance, in the 1960s and 70s, people protesting against the Vietnam War got their message across with T-shirt slogans such as “Make Love Not War”.

In the 1980s, slogan T-shirts reached the peak of their popularity after British designer Katharine Hamnett’s “Choose Life” T-shirt was worn by pop band Wham in one of their music videos. Celebrities continue to play a role in popularizing the trend today. From Paris Hilton’s “I Love Shoes, Bags and Boys” to Eva Longoria’s “I Want More Privacy”; from Chris Martin’s “Stop Handgun Violence” to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s “Save the Future”, stars have been letting their T-shirts do the talking.

And 2011 has seen the emergence of a number of new T-shirt slogans. Here are some of the most popular ones: Save Japan!

This is a line of slogan T-shirts designed by celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga to support recovery efforts in earthquake-stricken Japan. The T-shirts feature words of encouragement from the celebrities, such as “Through Struggle We Unite and Overcome” from Orlando Bloom.

Public Enemy #1 Is Dead

Hours after Barack Obama announced the killing of Osama bin Laden, excited Americans started celebrating the death of the September 11 mastermind with T-shirt slogans including“Public Enemy #1 Is Dead” and“It Took Obama to Get Osama”, according to the Washington Post.

Thank You for the Day Off

This is a British royal wedding inspired T-shirt slogan, as the wedding day for William and Kate was made a public holiday in Britain. Even if you couldn’t care less about royal weddings, everybody loves a day off work! I heart NY

The “I heart NY” T-shirt is still very popular today, but its origin dates back to the mid 1970s when the New York State tourism department needed a slogan to convince people that New York is a good city to visit. Graphic designer Milton Glaser dreamt up the slogan.

She was born to wealth and power in a time when money and politics were left to the men. Later, as The Washington Post’s publisher, Katharine Graham became one of America’s most powerful women.

Despite a privileged background, Katharine had to deal, while growing up, with the high demands her mother placed on her children. Katharine’s love of journalism, which she shared with her father, led to her career after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933．At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a young, charming lawyer who became her husband. When, in 1945, Katharine’s father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper, Katharine didn’t object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.

While Phil’s successful efforts to restore the Post to fame made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene, Katharine privately suffered great pain from her husband’s increasingly harmful behavior caused by severe depression. When Phil committed suicide, the 46-year-old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job, that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post, attending meetings in every department, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics, and becoming the toast of Washington.

In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers, the top-secret documents revealing the truth about the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War. What’s more, her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate（水門事件）, one of the greatest scandals（丑聞）in American political history. Katharine managed to keep control over the most disorganized situation when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair. Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known Paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
