Shirt Eleven Shirt Eleven is inspired by youth culture and rebellion. By combining elements of vintage photography, illustration and graphics the outcome gives a nostalgic, even romantic feel. Influences of racing cars and driver suits can be seen in usage of logos and texts in bright, primary colours. Photography elements such as the ski jumper, roses and architecture are all extracts from diapositives of a family archive dating back to 70’s - 80’s in Latvia which at that time was part of the Soviet Union. The playful hand-drawn illustrations are in contrary to the strict order of communism and celebrates the spirit of youth, beauty and freedom. The design can be worn on both sides with the long ends of the collar tied together or left open. The length allows the wearer to experiment by tying the straps around the body or even as a headband. The detachable straps are optional and can be tightened or loosened around the wrists and above the elbow. By playing with the shape and function the shirt Eleven can be worn in multiple ways.
