Opening Ceremony and Rob Pruitt Create Comical Couture

— September 24, 2010 — Social Good
Clothing brand 'Opening Ceremony' and artist Rob Pruitt collaboratively designed t-shirts with a comical twist, including one with a headless Mickey Mouse and another with the taboo version of Coca-Cola's logo. T-shirts have become more than just fashionable pieces; they have become conveyers of delicate topics ranging from politics to social issues.

New Yorker Rob Pruitt's designs and images condone hidden meanings in his artwork; however, with the recent collaboration with Opening Ceremony, the messages are not only on traditional canvasses...they are on you.
