TDR Destroy Minimalism - Black T-Shirt

In 2002, Norway’s Hot Rod Magazine (Not that kind of Hot Rod!) (nor THAT one!) invited TDR to collaborate on an edition primarily devoted to The Designers Republic (in a similar way to the collar in 1994 with California’s Emigre Magazine ). The idea was to do something different, show a different side of our work. We wanted to give a snapshot of the our process while at the same time not demystifying the end results.

At the time there was a trend of MTV Unplugged shows and albums and we liked the idea of doing the same, so we randomly selected ideas / drawings / doodles from our sketchbooks for designs which had seen the light of day as vectorised graphics (and in some cases hadn’t).

Destroy Minimalism was one such doodle apparently done during a meeting with a Swiss-obsessed client (so the story goes…)

This is one of the first collection of wearables from the launch of The Peoples Bureau in 2002 and comes fully loaded complete with three tags (Angryman logo arm tag / Buy Me embroidered tag bottom left on back / ‘This Machine Is Emptied Daily’ nape tag) and The Designers Republic neck tape. From the initial print run of 100.
