100% Cotton (American Apparel)

 

Curtis Mayfield was one smooth soul cat; multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and political and social commentator, his legacy in music is enormous. His self titled debut album is an undisputed classic that mixed his soul and funk sensibilities with bits of psychedelia and combined this with a larger and more encompassing social message. Move On Up is a song that features rolling latin percussion, surging string arrangements and Curtis voice as a call to arms for positivity and equality in a world that was going through the Vietnam War and the civil rights unrest. We here are massive fans of Curtis music and this shirt is dedicated to his influence and inspiration.

101 takes inspiration from various genres and cultures, showing influences from classic designers of the 60's & 70's such as Alexander Girard, Milton Glaser and others. Combined with an extensive background in music related design, the outcome shows a unique positive energy, color balance and treatments.
