WEAR AND TEAR - CLAUDE CAHUN angel T

Claude Cahun defied the gender binary before we had the language to describe it. This collab features one of Cahun's 1920s self-portraits and our signature slogan, ANGELS HAVE NO GENDER in a discrete text at the top left of the graphic, with a line of hand-cut holes running horizontally across the front and back.  

This 100% cotton T was upcycled from shirts discarded by a business in our neighborhood. We helped them manage this excess garment "waste" by turning unloved tops into a unique pieces that celebrate resistance, transformation, fluidity and creative self expression. We love them for their non-automated, DIY feel, and exaggerated cropped fit. 

Special edition of this top made in collaboration with Wear and Tear. By upcycling second-hand garments, Wear and Tear throws a wrench into the fashion system that demands hyper-consumerism. The hand-cut garments evolve with every day use. More use begets more love.
