l'vintage: the movie


There is something dynamic about art that is based on a deeper concept than just a visual design...when there's a background story you see it and feel it.

It is a rare occasion when you actually get to take part in the inspirations, muses and background story that influence the designer, so this is a special treat from
l'vintage.

l'vintage limited release t-shirt collection reflects the blaxploitation films of the 1970’s

all of the imagery used gives you poignant momentary views from the scenes of the unreleased film “élyse love” and shapes the collection from conception to construction.
