Antoin De'Vana's "From the Divine Gate, comes forth its Blissful Elixir" T-shirt.

 

The mysterious avant-garde designer Antoin De'Vana, who has been creating some of the most cutting edge and strange, yet wonderful clothing since 1999, and once said to the Fashion press over a decade ago, "I don't design, and I don't care," as a cryptic response to the what he feels is a hyper consumer and "pragmatic mess" of a world.  Where some of his pieces are not only very limited in production, but are also very expensive.  The above T-shirt, titled "From the Divine Gate, comes forth its Blissful Elixir," will set you back a month's worth of pay.  Yet, it is crafted from Mycelium (mushroom) and Grape 'leather'.  With its worn and heavy set look.  Also, note the intricate emblem sitting within the middle of the T-shirt, comprised of pyrite and recycled copper.  Which has been heat fused and compressed into the garment.
