German fashion designer Jetty van Wezel is releasing a new line of newspaper-infused t-shirts called 'Newshirts.' This combination of current events and wearable fashion creates both an interesting and educational pieces of clothing.
The intent for this clothing line is to encourage youth to stay current with crucial events and hot news topics that are happening around the world. The line uses the power of imagery as a way to reach the desired audience. The shirts will range from pull-over t-shirts to button-ups. The topics will also range from monumental sporting events to politics and culture stories.
The Newshirt line is a creative way to address current events, while essentially using people as advocates and walking billboards. The shirts will also remain relevant as time passes, because although the shirts began as displays for current events, they will transition into historical moments.
