Publisher's Synopsis
This title explores the diverse and rich graphic culture that has arisen from the T-shirt, which since the 1960s has provided a forum for expression in areas such as music, politics and fashion. The T-shirt has provided an enduring medium for music-related graphic design - they not only reflect the spirit of a particular band, but also the spirit of a particular time. Equally, however, politics and high-fashion use the T-shirt to express a message. Greenpeace, Amnesty International and similar organizations highlight their causes through T-shirt graphics. Fashion designers use memorable graphics on T-shirts as an integral part of their range, while T-shirts are also a core part of the business of surf and skateboard companies such as Mambo and Fuct.;This book features specially commissioned graphics from international designers, artwork and specially photographed T-shirts, as well as T-shirt collections, classic T-shirts, and future trends in T-shirt graphics.
