The combination of pop culture and the fashion industry is nothing new to us. However, the overlay of shape by the content, in this case by the images of contemporary society, continues to wonder. The tumblr of Sexy Sweaters came to prove that power. Managed by Greta Gibbens and Alec Weitl, the Sexy Sweaters is a range of sweaters emblazoned with pop culture photoshop images, which does not physically exist.
In an interview to Vice magazine,
Gretta Gibbens said
the sweaters "are not impossible to do, it's just that the
process is very expensive and
complicated", claiming that "the reason
why the shirts have not yet been made is related to the
fact that people do not believe
there’s a market for it", for this goods would be quite expensive.
Despite the difficulties, the ambition is to turn them real. Therefore, on the official web page of Sexy Sweaters, the users can now send a message in order to be notified when it happens. Until then, one can only check up on the new sweaters posted on the website and dream about them!
