The Revolver Fall/Winter 2009 collection features stunning artwork by Parisian artist So-Me.
Known for quirky eccentricity in their designs, the Japanese brand Revolver is offering more graphically unique clothes this season. Printed tees and crew neck sweaters from the The Revolver Fall/Winter 2009 collection seem to be centered around a sailor theme. Except for the minor detail that most of the sailors are dead, shown by the tees printed with skulls in marine caps, or are about to die—a fine example of which is a tee printed with ‘Drowning Sailor.’
