D.I.Y as an aesthetic

Back when I was a younger man there was a great movement that involved buying plain clothes and altering them. The whole punk and goth aesthetic was founded on the idea of re-imagining items that started their lives as banal. The necessity of poverty and stubborn artistic defiance collided to create iconic looks that are still copied today. Well now it's 30 years later and we have tons of new technology and textiles to play with, so let's get busy. I personally am going to be doing some things with a bunch of plain white shirts this summer, what are you going to do?
