Product Description

Grim reaper Is this your card shirt RBC produces its merch via Everpress, an online retailer that allows individuals to upload designs and sell stock on a made-to-order basis. Gaia Di Siena, senior brand marketing manager at Everpress, says sport has long been a recurring theme, but describes a recent “phenomenon” of “run-themed” T-shirts, with many promoting completely fictitious clubs. “I’m not surprised as running is arguably the activity [that] anyone is getting into right now,” she says, noting how designs available on Everpress tend to “mirror what is currently relevant in culture and society”. Hobson believes that fashion and running have always “coexisted”, pointing to the current ubiquity of New Balance’s 990 trainer, which was originally released in 1982 as a running shoe. But also that the sport’s recent rise in the style stakes has pushed prices up, making people feel that they need to spend lots of money to be involved. That said, anything that gets people running is good. “If it means more people feel like there’s a look for them, and they can go running and feel comfortable in an aesthetic they’re chasing, then go for it.”

By the early 2010s Grim reaper Is this your card shirt the phrase fast fashion had been in circulation for a couple of decades, but had yet to acquire a widespread pejorative connotation. Though the 1990s saw the rise of a robust anti-sweatshop movement, the public consensus a few decades later was that fast-fashion stores were a different kind of retail experience, but not necessarily an evil one. H&M and Target were producing highly coveted designer collaborations with Alexander McQueen, Rodarte and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons. Cheap clothing chains were exploding all over the country. News articles about the industry’s growth were positive, or at least neutral: accessible, stylish clothes were seen as a common good. The rare hesitations – like a 2008 New York Times article that considered “a feeling of unease at how the ultra-cheap clothes can be manufactured” – were afforded significantly less space. The sewing bloggers, however, were already voicing their concerns. They called out the chains who ripped off styles by independent designers to a comically exact degree (clothing isn’t copyrightable under current laws, so the chains got away with it). I learned that any new clothing I could ever afford would be far from a fair price for all the skill and labour involved in its creation. Garment workers were toiling in bleak conditions, working 16-hour days, seven days a week for pennies in crumbling factories full of toxic chemicals in China, India and Vietnam; cheaper price tags pointed to worse conditions and, unimaginably, even worse pay. I also learned about the environmental costs – the oil to run the equipment, the factory pollution spewed into the air, the energy required to fly and ship garments around the globe, and the billions of pounds of fabric waste destined for landfills, never to decompose.
