A piece of clothing is never just a piece of clothing, it can protect, project, attract, define, and much more.
As we decode each other through our daily armour, our vulnerabilities and strengths are either exposed or left hidden.
The T-shirt has for many years now been a canvas to express emotions, form allegiances, showcase support and convey ideas.
Print has both elements of art and of fashion, and when combined with humanity, it may bring to light important notions and help important causes.
Such is the trajectory of OLD - AGE x CRUSH fanzine, and their collaboration on their limited edition t-shirt featuring the work of Lebanese photographer Myriam Boulos.
The print photography by Boulos, set on the OLD - AGE x CRUSH fanzine t-shirt collaboration, captures one of the moments the Lebanon has experienced in these last two years, with hands seeming to reach out for rights and fairness.
As the country is currently experiencing the repercussions of the heartbreaking 4th of August devastation, a collapsing economy, alongside a global pandemic, the creative industries, including fashion can help. 100% of the proceeds of this t-shirt, will go to Enfants de Lumière, a charity that provides food supplies to families in Lebanon living below the poverty line.
