Top Graphics is a large-format visual survey devoted to the art, design, and cultural history of the graphic T-shirt. Focusing primarily on designs from the 1970s through the 1990s, it documents the explosion of wearable graphics that transformed the humble T-shirt into a canvas for typography, illustration, advertising, humor, music, sports, pop culture, and personal expression.
Hundreds of colorful examples allow readers to explore changing graphic styles across three enormously influential decades. The designs range from stylish and inventive to wonderfully strange, kitschy, and unmistakably of their eras.
Of particular interest to vintage clothing collectors, the book also includes information useful for identifying vintage T-shirt tags, adding a practical collecting dimension beyond its value as a visual design archive.
