About the Item

Inspired by the iconic black turtleneck, a symbol of rebellion and nonconformity that has transcended generations. From the Beat Generation’s rejection of mainstream values to the Black Panther Party’s fight for social justice, this simple yet powerful garment has represented the courage to challenge the status quo. The painting captures the essence of this enduring symbol, exploring the intersection of art, activism, and identity. Through bold strokes and vibrant colors, I invite you to reflect on the power of fashion and art to inspire meaningful change.
