Product Information

London’s Victoria and Albert Museum celebrated her influence on fashion in 2009 with an exhibition called Kylie Minogue: Image of a Pop Star. Madonna paid homage in 2000 by performing in a T-shirt with Minogue’s name on it. And now, a new generation of artists including Dua Lipa, Kim Petras and Alice Chater are hailing her as an influence. “She’s just such a well-rounded pop star,” Chater says. “Her songs, video and image are always incredibly well executed.” Hand drawn portrait of KYLIE MINOGUE by West Melbourne artist, Jess McDonald, printed on 100% organic cotton slim fit unisex t shirt. As 2019’s tremendously entertaining Glastonbury set underlined, Minogue has really blossomed as a joy-giving live performer. She now belongs in the top echelon of touring acts who can concoct and pull off spectacular stage productions like 2011’s Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour, which paid homage to Greek mythology and filled the stage with so many fountains and water jets that some fans chose to sit in a designated ‘splash zone’. Chater supported Minogue at the 2019 Brighton Pride festival and says it was “incredibly eye-opening” to watch her perform in the flesh. “I was blown away by her stage presence and how she can hold the crowd in the palm of her hand,” Chater recalls, praising the way Minogue is “sexy and elegant” at the same time. “And until you see Kylie live,” Chater adds, “I don't think you appreciate how many truly memorable songs she has. It's hit after hit after hit.” She seems so down to Earth and such a beautiful soul. And from a knitting artist's point of view... that outfit: wow! The finished piece would unmistakably be our Kylie.

Image: This isn't Kylie's first visit - here's the star on stage at Victoria Park in Leicester for a weekender in 2001 The anonymous Syston Knitting Banxy, who has been sharing knitted post box toppers around the Leicestershire town since 2019, spent two-and-a-half weeks creating this Padam-era Kylie. In her caption, she expanded by adding: "Put your hands up for today’s #ausmusictshirtday! Get involved by wearing your fave Ausmusic t-shirt and making a donation to Support Act, so we can continue our crucial work helping music workers in need." I chose Kylie partly because I identify with her as a woman of similar age, but also because of my admiration of her and how she has handled her fame," Syston Knitting Banxy told Sky News, remaining undercover. There's no shortcut to learning a craft; you just have to put the years in - Kylie Neighbourly mechanic! Gold hot pants! Showgirl Superstar!

Leicester's got the most amazing music scene but at the same time we don't have that kind of facility for like a monstrous act like Kylie Minogue," says Benbini. "So to have the park open up is just a beautiful thing and hopefully the weather will hold out. New music from certified Australian pop royalty is always an event, so you can imagine the excitement when Kylie Minogue recently announced a new full-length album.

Her 16th studio album is titled Tension (out 22 September) and now we get the lead single, 'Padam Padam', which has us thinking the kind of tension she's referring to is – in classic pop fashion – sexual. Where peers such as Madonna and Lady Gaga are hailed as ‘shapeshifters’ or ‘chameleons’, Minogue’s musical evolution has always been more measured. Other top-tier stars have reinvented their image by introducing a high-concept alter ego – Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce, for example – but tellingly, Minogue’s various eras are viewed as iterations of her own reassuringly radiant persona: we've had ‘Pop Kylie’, ‘Indie Kylie’ and ‘Country Kylie’; now we're onto ‘Disco Kylie’. “Kylie moves with the times without losing her own special quality: every album is fresh yet uniquely her,” says HERR, a British drag performer who has hosted Minogue tribute nights at London LGBTQ venue The Glory. “And because she's loved across such a broad spectrum [of demographics], I don’t see her star fading any time soon.” Go to a Kylie Minogue show and you'll see pop fans from several generations rubbing shoulders with the singer's famously devoted LGBTQ fanbase. The show is taking place in Victoria Park, which has hosted shows by Leicester band Kasabian in the past.But to be pulling these big acts in our hometown just makes it super exciting... and I think it's what's needed in this town. Quality cotton grown without the use of herbicides or pesticides - GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified Kylie Minogue is the most charming and unassuming pop superstar of all. She’s never been as provocative as Madonna or a vocal marvel to rival Mariah Carey, but her career has proven equally fascinating and enduring. The performer who was dismissively dubbed ‘the singing budgie’ when she broke through with The Loco-Motion in the late 1980s is now a gold-plated icon whose first name alone stands for joyous dance-pop brilliance.
