“Uniform is never beautiful"
Spring 2007

This is the first edition of unique shirts available from Enthusiast. Each shirt has been judiciously selected from second-hand store inventory over a period of 15 months. Some exhibit minor irregularities (such as a missing tag, minor shrinkage), but are otherwise clean, modest and functional.

The design created to adorn these shirts is an line drawing of a snowflake, its sublime symmetry and tessalations infused with fragments of Gilded Age print decoration. The pen and ink rendering of this was then combined with the calligraphic rendering of the text “Uniform is Never Beautiful,” and this image was used to create a serigraphic stencil.

Each garment was then washed, silkscreened in one of four colors, heat-set, washed, tagged, and is now ready for the fashionable gentleman or lady of excercising discernment in finery.
