KFAX19: X.TEE.C
KFAX19: X.TEE.C is a collection of rave T-shirts by Tom Kennedy, also known as BPM Archive, a curator of rave-related items.
This work goes a step beyond the monochrome risograph prints seen in previous KFAX series, allowing you to experience early 1990s rave culture in full color.
As with much of youth culture, t-shirts were more than just clothing for young ravers. They were a form of self-expression, a symbol of rebellion and a statement of identity. These t-shirts became an essential part of the style and played a major role in shaping the aesthetic of early rave music and parties.
Many of the designs from that time were produced quickly and inexpensively, reflecting the DIY spirit of the era. Printed on readily available fabrics such as Oneida, Hanes, and Screen Stars, these t-shirts are now rare collector's items and fetch high prices.
This is a rare rave T-shirt archive that embodies Tom's passion as a DJ, record shop staff member, and vintage clothing buyer.
Released by KFAX, the publishing division of Klasse Wrecks, a Hong Kong-based record label run by Luca Lozano and Mr. Ho.
