Mid 1950s / Hopsack Rayon / Discharge Print

 

Back in the 1950s, Star of Hollywood introduced print shirts of remarkable artistry to the world. Among the brand’s legacy are five masterpieces celebrated by collectors worldwide, and this Shrunken Head pattern was also released under the label Sir Guy. While the core design was shared by both, there were clear differences in the scale of the motifs, their spacing, the fabric used, and the printing method itself. Of the two, the Star of Hollywood version is the earlier and original creation. Compared to the later Sir Guy release, the Star of Hollywood shirt features slightly smaller motifs set at narrower intervals, and its pattern is executed not by overprinting, but by a discharge printing technique. Extremely few original Star of Hollywood Shrunken Head shirts are known to exist today, and because they had never even appeared in reference books, they were long regarded by collectors as a true phantom piece. This season, however, that elusive design is finally brought back to life, faithfully revived from an original vintage example by Star of Hollywood itself.

The shirt is styled as an open-collar design, arranged in the manner of a classic open shirt. In addition to the pale purple seen in vintage originals, it is also offered in vivid yellow and red colorways.

Product Details

STAR OF HOLLYWOOD
Star of Hollywood was an American brand of the 1950's and, until recently, was only recognized by a handful of people in the vintage clothing industry. Although many facts of the brand still remains unknown, the very eye-catching and enthralling designs, plus the unique yet remarkable coloration could be its major characteristics. Inspired by the limited numbers of actual vintage, especially the masterpieces of that time as well as the outstanding items, various original designs have been developed under the name of “Star of Hollywood.”
