Virgil Abloh and Jenny Holzer, founder and designer of Off-White, and renowned neo-conceptual artist, respectively, joined forces to come up with series of graphic designs to be printed on white t-shirts.
In large sans serif black lettering, the shirts state "Abuse Of Power Comes As No Surprise," and "Abuse of Flower Comes As No Surprise," which are printed in English, Russian, Arabic, and Japanese on the sleeves of the shirts as well. As Highsnobiety reports, the shirts were commissioned by a group of artistic influencers that aim to create positive change, who go by the name Sexy Beast.
All of the proceeds earned from the Virgil Abloh and Jenny Holzer shirts go towards Planned Parenthood Los Angeles.
