1980s Fashion Victim Drinking Skeleton Tee
Before ironic graphics were mainstream and before streetwear collided with subversive art, Fashion Victim helped lay the groundwork. This original 1980s Fashion Victim T-shirt features an incredibly rare early graphic—possibly one of the earliest known works by artist Paul Sonju, whose macabre, satirical style would go on to define the brand’s cult following in the punk, skate, and counterculture scenes.
Tagged Large. Measures 21.5×27
Flaws - Tasteful grahpics cracking
Printed on a Screen Stars 100% cotton single-stitch blank, the shirt presents a skeletal figure dripping in anti-fashion commentary—a haunting and humorous jab at consumer identity. This graphic is almost never seen on the open market, and no known reprints or second runs of this design exist, further underscoring its collectible rarity.
If you collect early subculture or skate-adjacent vintage, this is a cornerstone piece. It predates the brand’s later, more common output and stands as a testament to the experimental design ethos of 1980s underground apparel. These shirts were never mass-produced and circulated primarily through niche, artist-run channels.
This shirt marks a pivotal moment in the development of indie label design and visual satire. An essential acquisition for any serious vintage streetwear or art-graphic collector.
