Opening Ceremony / Hypebeast - ‘The Tee’
Agency: DDB NY; North America CCO: Ari Weiss; CCO: Lisa Topol & Derek Barnes; GCD: Cassandra Anderson; CD: Paulo Junger & Rogo Castro: Director: Daniel Soares; Cinematographer: Mika Altskan
Before internet and social media gave people a platform to share their ideas, the t-shirt was the way to express yourself – if you had something to say, you’d say it on a t-shirt.
In times of so many online protests, Opening Ceremony wanted to pay homage to the cotton tee, and remind people of its history of ‘offline’ self-expression and activism, in ‘The Most Powerful Tee’ campaign.
Recognizing that the tee holds an iconic place in fashion history, this collaboration with Cotton celebrated the timeless medium by releasing a limited-edition shirt that came with a marker, only so you could speak your mind up.
