The mannequin wearing said t-shirt clings to a copy of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie&#8217;s book of the same name and the inspiration for Chiuri&#8217;s design. It is this type of story that the Fashion and Textile Museum hopes to tell. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6799.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6799.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6799-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6800-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is divided into digestible tableaux based around defining moments in the t-shirt&#8217;s recent history. Here we explore some of them:<\/p>\n<h2>T-Shirt Typologies and T-Shirt Embellishment Techniques<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re thrown in at the deep end with a look at some cultural icons that help to open the story of how t-shirts are made. There are university t-shirts from the USA and the UK, displayed alongside souvenir t-shirts and novelty t-shirts. It helps us to understand how such an ephemeral item brought people together and helped to create memories. Techniques for t-shirt production like screen-printing, flocking and transfers are also on display, with highlights including tour t-shirts from Elton John and a decadent Alexander McQueen t-shirt. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6762.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6762.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6762-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6773.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6773-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Agitprop<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most fundamental sections of the exhibition is the stand devoted to agitprop and the roles that t-shirt designs have played in political protest. The term, originating in Soviet Russia, has been loosely applied to any t-shirt that makes a political or protesting statement. Many are hand printed, some even with slogans daubed across. A diverse range of causes are included, such as climate change, equality and election campaigns. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6790.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6790.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6790-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6791.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6791.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6791-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The T-Shirt as Fashion Statement<\/h2>\n<p>There are tens of examples of fashionable t-shirts in the exhibition &#8211; many of which show the way that superbrands have used their logos to maximum effect.

So many fashion exhibitions are devoted to clothing specifically to a single gender; this exhibition proves that the t-shirt is one of few items of clothing that are far from gender-specific. This in turn makes the t-shirt an inherently democratic garment in political and cultural terms. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6821.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6821.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6821-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6828.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6828.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6828-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The exhibition offers serious examples, such as designs that campaign for transgender equality, and playful examples, like <em>trompe-l&#8217;\u0153il<\/em> designs to emphasise or obscure gender differences. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11830\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11830\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6834.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6834.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6834-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photographs by Matt Bramford for Field Grey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum celebrates the iconic t-shirt.
