Cshirt
Cshirt is a line of contemporary t-shirts featuring the C logo from the festival of Contemporary art, interpreted by important artists. They are wearable works of art, for anyone who shares the festival of Contemporary art’s passion for art and loves expressing themselves and learning more about contemporary culture.
Each Cshirt is the result of a relationship and a debate with a top contemporary artist, and therefore tells an incredible story. It offers the chance to gain a greater understanding of the messages of art and be guided in the discovery of new visions of the world, while wearing it and spreading the message, and experiencing this exclusive contact with the work of art.
The Cshirt is made in Italy and available in two versions: a limited edition distributed exclusively by
yoox.com, and another edition which is available to the public at the festival and all the events featuring the C logo throughout the year.
The Cshirt is a symbol of belonging to the cultural project of the festival of Contemporary art, and supporting reflection and debate about the art of our time.

pins-shirt
Miss & Mister office
When I received the commission for this project, I immediately thought of you, of us and all the goodness hidden in our souls.
I thought of everyone who will wear this canvas one day, And everyone who will act as messengers, spreading the good news around the world.
I thought of “Mr & Mrs office” who work every day and make a lot of effort, just as I do.
I thought simply of a garment which can be worn as something smart or as a symbol of joy and suffering.
The pins-shirt is not just chic clothing, but it’s also a cover-up, cut lovingly out of cotton.
The pins-shirt is not just a t-shirt, but an everyday, visual object which must be shared with plenty of humour.
It’s an “acupuncture canvas” which is meant to be as captivating as a painting, or a relief work which was created for pure enjoyment.
It’s available in lots of colours and lots of sizes: S, M, L, XL.
So it’s up to you to choose your size, your friends’ sizes and your enemies’ sizes.
Give them this present and they will love you.
