When the brand is the product
I saw a guy recently wearing an absolutely elaborate T-shirt. It was printed in four or more colors and what looked like gold leaf. It made me curious about the state of the street fashion industry so I started looking around to find some examples to share with you.
This may sound like I'm stating the obvious, but what makes it so interesting to me is that it appears that there is not real story or meaning behind much of the the imagery--it is just emblems, typography, patterns, and color. And that I am so conditioned to thinking of that combination of elements as having a specific purpose and meaning that it makes the whole thing that much more intriguing.
In any case, I really appreciate the quality of the design. Your thoughts?
