On Set: Titanic Gift T-Shirt Shoot


Larissa Watson's official bio lists 'Artist, Designer, Entrepreneur and Academic' and following an enjoyable morning on set with herself and her team for the vibrant new Titanic Gift t-shirt range, nothing describes the talented designer better.


Enter Larissa's new venture. The launch of a collection of design led pieces inspired by original oil paintings from Larissa herself. All to commemorate the centenary of the construction and launch of the Titanic from Harland and Wolff in 1911.

As a result, the old rustic once proud emerald iron gate of Harland and Wolff with canary yellow cranes Goliath and Samson towering above. The untouched Titanic docks and the new and soon to open spectacular signature building located in Belfast's newly constructed Titanic Quarter were naturally the perfect setting to bring these artistic designs to life.


Shot by creative photographer Tony Webster whose images have turned out sensationally. Seriously, they are stunning. All helped by the equally appealing models Seaneen, Caroline and Connor who lent their good looks, enthusiasm and playful energetic chemistry to the simple, young, fresh and clean-cut Belfast-based shoot.


Caroline donned ocean blue high waist denims before pulling on a pair of red flared jeans swapping Titanic Gift t-shirts sporting the retro decorative ironwork design with diamante detailing. Topping it off with a paisley print silk head scarf resulting in several comments on how good she would look without any hair at all. Mainly from Tony Webster who no doubt would have shaved it there and then given half the chance.


Connor. Casual. Abercrombie & Fitch look and highly energetic attitude rocking the blue and gold metallic paint anchor t-shirt before stripping quickly for a further two shoots. Complete with the capstan motif t-shirt shot on top of the very capstan itself. Talk about the test of time.


It was the lucky Seaneen however who got the chance to pull off the ivory white silk Titanic ironwork dress. Featuring the ironwork pattern in a contrasting black ink detail and a black feathered collar. Seaneen stood proud inside and out weaving her way through the metallic rust letters of the word Titanic.

All accomplished following a climb on the old gates in a body-warmer and gold studded boots and a stylish strut down the docks in an American vintage blue checked dress whilst waving a paisley silk neck scarf. Oh and a little encouragement from local truck and taxi drivers alike lending their horns of enthusiasm.


The make-up for the shoot was provided by Julie Gould. Larissa Watson's Titanic Gift collection can be viewed and purchased online at www.titanicgift.com.
