Boy's Own SS25 - A Slice of Subculture
For SS25, Boy’s Own returns with a fresh batch of graphic tees that tap into its acid house heritage, offering a mix of nostalgia, irreverence, and cult cultural references. The latest drop celebrates Sounds of Summer, Swindells ‘89, Pie and Mash, and more - each piece a nod to the music, the attitude, and the everyday rituals that shaped a generation.
Boy’s Own has always been more than just a name. Originally launched as a fanzine in the mid-80s, it documented the emerging acid house scene with a sharp sense of humour and an insider’s perspective on football, fashion, and club culture. As the rave movement exploded, Boy’s Own became a key player-throwing parties, releasing records, and influencing a wave of British youth culture that still resonates today. The brand’s transition into clothing feels like a natural extension of its legacy, continuing to tell those stories through bold graphics and carefully considered designs.
The SS25 collection builds on that tradition, capturing moments and memories that feel as relevant now as they did decades ago. Sounds of Summer evokes long, hazy days soundtracked by Balearic beats, while Swindells ‘89 nods to the late great journalist Peter Swindells, a key figure in documenting the rise of house music. And then there’s Pie and Mash - a knowing reference to the simple pleasures and enduring traditions that sit alongside the chaos of a weekend well spent.
Printed on high-quality cotton tees, each piece carries the same DIY spirit and authenticity that made Boy’s Own essential reading back in the day. Whether you were there the first time around or you’re discovering it all anew, these designs serve as a connection to an era when music, style, and attitude truly meant something.
