About my design

by Leroy_Hornblower   
The black dashed line cutting through Marie Antoinette is used to represent the placement of the zipper. It's not actually part of the design. And the text translates to read "let them eat cake."

OMG, this is really clever. I can just picture wearing a red shirt underneath and making it all that much more dramatic. Love the illustration as well. 5

Really great Zip design. How would it look on regular t's though?

   Leroy_Hornblower on Jun 25 '10
Nomad: I was only concerned with how it worked on a hoody, since the competition only mentioned creating a design for a hoody.

Thanks.

I only ask because for my wishbone hoody I had to also make it into a tee for printing, and I think the original instructions for this contest mentioned it although they dont now.

Anyhow, this is really genius, my coworker just snorted at it.

Brioche is brioche, not cake, malheureux !
A part ça, great hoodie compo and lovely style !
Leroy_Hornblower
   Leroy_Hornblower on Jun 26 '10
Plu Shu: Brioche might not actually be cake, but I found multiple sources that say "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" is where the famous "let them eat cake" saying came from.

In the end I guess it really doesn't matter since I've read that historians have never found any proof of her actually saying those infamous words.

Thanks again everyone.
abeadle
   abeadle on Jun 26 '10
I read that too, that she never said those things, and they actually originated a hundred years before with another princess, and may have traveled down through different princesses that way.

And actually, "brioche" was a type of cake-like bread, & it's more like that word was used than "gateau." So, the phrase is correct.

Also, this was a rumor spread about many princesses through the ages. Antoine Frasier's biography covers all of this. =)

maybe that's the actual quote she said? because brioche doesn't mean cake... it means a sweet pastry. Gâteau means cake...

how can you buy an item that's being voted on like this? I would like to buy it
Fonus
Fonus on Oct 16 '10
@ bodyheatq: Try the threadless store.
Trivia: It is considered likely that the quote was made up after the revolution to descredit the former rulers.
Anyway, nice work Leroy!
