TeeCulture: TEES: Exposing Melbourne’s T-shirt Culture

This is a promo video from last year promoting an amazing T-shirt and graphics exhibition that opened in Melbourne, Australia December 2012 and closed February 2013.  The exhibition, TEES: Exposing Melbourne’s T-shirt Culture, set out to examine and dissect the city’s passion for cotton thru the eyes of a Melbourne’s most famous T-Shirt collector Eddie Zammit. With well over 4,000 T-shirts in his collection, Zammit dug deep into his collection to uncover influential items that demonstrate the power of the city’s T-shirt past, present and future.

TEES: Exposing Melbourne’s T-shirt Culture featured photography by Nicole Reed and included visual content on Melbourne’s influential artists, brands and designers. Visitors were also able to see some classic local tees and prominent Melbourne T-shirt souvenirs.
