£30.00

Grace Jones is an iconic Jamaican-American singer, songwriter, supermodel, record producer and actress.  Jones began her modelling career in New York state, then in Paris, working for fashion houses such as Yves St. Laurent and Kenzo, and appearing on the covers of Elle and Vogue. She worked with photographers such as Jean-Paul Goude, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Hans Feurer, and became known for her distinctive androgynous appearance and bold features. She went on to become a successful actress and musician of a new wave style that drew on reggae, funk, post-punk and pop music.

Jones influenced the cross-dressing movement of the 1980s and has been an inspiration for artists including Annie Lennox, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Lorde, Róisín Murphy, Brazilian Girls, Nile Rodgers, Santigold, and Basement Jaxx.

Description

KWATZ is a small T-shirt label producing limited editions of unique multi-colour designs individually printed by hand in a tiny studio. We cater for people who appreciate the difference between mass produced machine prints and the quality of original artisan work. The process is not mechanised at all – every print really is unique – the screens for printing are hand held, designs are hand dawn and all stencils are intricately hand-cut from paper, only producing small runs of each print before the paper stencils become unusable.

Amanda Roseveare, the artist behind KWATZ, seeks to bring new vigour to the T-shirt with a small range of flamboyant, distinctive designs inspired by the art and folklore of Africa and the colour and energy of modern street culture. T-shirts are an ideal vehicle for Amanda’s art, always a popular piece of clothing and a great canvas for ideas as ‘wearable art’.

The prints are soft, durable and colour fast, screen printed in ravishing colours using water based inks. Our standard T-shirt model is a top quality semi-fitted unisex classic 100% cotton jersey T-shirt, a wardrobe staple that can be worn all year round. It features a crew neck, short sleeves and is slightly longer in length.
