Falling down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar abstract concepts and anthropomorphic springleap characters like ‘Alice’s adventures in Wonderland‘ is certainly what t-shirt culture is all about.
It’s an artistic world based on the minds of designers depicting their versatile styles and creative thought through design. A culture where t-shirt competitions and online design have become the latest trends for design lovers to showcase their talents to the world and be rewarded for it. I guess the international online t-shirt fashion buzz has created a really awesome platform for all designers. Lucky them.
All the original t-shirt designs is really awesome and I’m always flabbergasted by the unbelievable talent coming from designers. In South Africa Springleap.com is the BIGGESST and HOTTEST online fashion t-shirt competition and I really love the initiative.
So it seems like T-shirts have evolved into fashion statements of its own and all the different t-shirt designs makes it a really awesome and versatile garment. Celebrities seem to be ‘The T-shirt Trendsetters’ using their fame and charisma to capture the publics’ hearts. The various sub-cultures seem to loose there minds when they see their favourite celebrities wearing certain tees. However designers are of coarse the real magic behind all the fabulous tees worn by celebrities. Oh well I guess marketing t-shirts plays a major role in how popular a designer and their t-shirt designs are. What t-shirt brands are you most in love with and why? Do you think marketing played a major role or do you love the t-shirt because the design is actually fabulous?
This mornings’ thunder showers and lightning flashes really was fabulous to wake up to (winters back) and engage in my own artistic flavour- creating MUSIC. I may not be a designer but I sure am a hip hardcore dj that understands ART. However I use designers works of art like surrealism for inspiration.
‘Beauty and the beast; Dissociative identity disorder’ is a surrealist WORK OF ART that I came across today and gosh is it BEAUTIFUL. The artwork has a dark sexual fantasy twist and creative satanic feel but can really inspire you with your next design, really awesome neosurrealismart.com
What t-shirt trends and evolutions are you into?
REMEMBER: working across all principles is the key to great design… Do you have what it takes to create your own movement similar to surrealism?
ALL OF THE BEST!!
