No matter what’s happening in her life, Madonna is still in love with British brand Bodas’s organic supima cotton T-shirts. The singer wears them “to work out, to run errands, to go out — she loves them for everyday,” a source tells PEOPLE. (She also likes them for primetime — she wore a black short-sleeve T in her 4 Minutes video with Justin Timberlake.) A Bodas spokeswoman tells PEOPLE that the singer most recently purchased a handful this summer. “She wears them out, and then her assistant comes in and buys five more,” she says. And unlike, say, Madonna’s one-of-a-kind designer tour outfits, you can actually purchase these looks. They’re $90 for a tank top or short sleeve, and $98 for long-sleeve styles, available at www.bodas.co.uk or at Barneys New York. – Courtney Rubin

Show your love for one of TVs most fashionable zip codes by wearing a 90210 T-shirt. CBS Consumer Products and 90210 have partnered up to release an array of vintage-style tees available at Kitson Studio in West Hollywood. The collection was unveiled this week during an intimate soiree at Kitson with a handful of cast members, including Dustin Milligan (Ethan), Jessica Stroup (Silver)– in LNA– and Ryan Eggold (Ryan). As guests sipped cocktails and shopped for T-shirts, the band Karmina performed “The Kiss,” which was heard in an episode of the CW’s 90210. The T-shirt designs include a classic cast shot from the original 90210 and another one that says, “Meet Me at the Peach Pit.” If a version from the newer West Beverly is more your style, choose sides by wearing either a “Team Naomi” or “Team Silver” T-shirt. The $28 shirts are available at the Kitson store on famed Robertson Boulevard or at www.shopkitson.com.

In light of the terrible plane crash that left Travis Barker and DJ AM badly burnt and four others dead, Barker’s Famous Stars and Straps clothing line is producing exclusive T-shirts in memory of the former Blink 182 drummer’s personal assistant Chris Baker and security guard Charles Still. The shirts were designed by pro skater and Famous team manager Felix Arguelles and Famous art director and artist Maxx “maxx242″ Gramajo. All the proceeds from sales of the shirts will benefit the memorial funds set up for Chris Baker and Charles “Che” Still. A source tells PEOPLE, “Everyone that is a part of the Famous family are really close, so Chris and Che were brothers to everyone. The shirts were made to honor them and support their families.” The memorial T-shirts will be available exclusively at Famoussas.com and at The Fast Life store in L.A.

Sarah Jessica Parker made a subtle political — and fashion — statement while running around New York City yesterday in her Obama-inspired “Dare to Dream” tank. Her coveted tank is actually Zac Posen-designed and part of Barack Obama’s “Runway to Change” initiative. Posen isn’t the only designer to lend his talents to the campaign. Joining him in creating exclusive “Change” T-shirts, tanks and accessories are other top names like Nanette Lepore, Tory Burch, Russell Simmons, Vera Wang, Tracy Reese, Alexander Wang, Narciso Rodriguez, Beyonce and Tina Knowles for The House of Dereon and more. Your purchase of one of the Ts will count as a campaign contribution. Check out all the designs, at barackobama.com.

We first spotted Nicky Hilton in her whimsical Vogue t-shirt earlier in the week, and then we spotted Ashley Tisdale in her equally adorable illustrated T-shirt yesterday on a shopping spree at Kitson. Turns out the hot tees come from Trash & Luxury, a glam new line by L.A. designer Hushi Mortezaie. It seems he got his quirky style from his mentor Patricia Field– the famed Sex & the City stylist responsible for SJP and cast’s outlandishly fashionable costumes. When it comes to his own line, Hushi Mortezaie designs T-shirts that meld a glamorous spirit with a hint of comfort– and what is more glamorous than Vogue? For the first Trash & Luxury collection, Hushi takes his inspiration from ’80s-era New York, the real-life dream world of Los Angeles, Hollywood by night — and a magazine that’s earned its own song. Love the Vogue tees? Get Ashley’s Trash & Luxury tops, $48, at shopkitson.com and Nicky’s, $48 , also at shopkitson.com

Former Primp designer Alexx Jae launched a line of organic t-shirts for the Environmental Media Association on February 13 at one of LA’s premiere fashionista havens, Milk, whose clients include Zooey Deschanel, Rachel Bilson, Mandy Moore, and the Simpson sisters. “People think the environment is so not cute or hippie-ish, and I wanted to show that it could be really hip and cute,” says the L.A.-reared designer, who no doubt was inspired by her mom, the head of EMA. The super-soft tees and cardigans feature pro-environment messages written in light ink, like “Where’s your hybrid?” and “Compact fluorescents are sexy.” “I would never wear anything with a saying so loud so I wanted to make it very subtle,” says the environmentalist, who also uses bamboo in her sophisticated high-end collection, due out in the fall. Emily VanCamp, for one, was sold on the message: “I think it’s fabulous! I bought a cardigan. I’m all for a healthy environment, healthy clothes.” Other celeb fans: Anna Faris, who hosted the party, Amy Smart, Heather Graham, and Alexx Jae’s childhood BFF, Nicole Richie. “Nicole wears my stuff. She has to!” says the designer, who will donate 100% of the proceeds to EMA. Click here to buy the t-shirts, $75, at shopatmilk.com.
