GERMENS™ ARTFASHION

EXTRAVAGANT SHIRTS FROM GERMANY

GERMENS™ artist collaboration

GERMENS™ are gaining more renowned artists who create a shirt as a wearable piece of art. Each creative person uses their own images and forms a shirt for everyone’s taste. This is how extraordinary clothes are made, but also art connoisseurs discover more and more that a GERMENS™-Shirt is a collector‘s item.

Tribute to Frida Kahlo

Daniel Schoa, atelierblau, Germany

Daniel Schoa, an artist with special perspectives, created the highly detailed template for this particular shirt.

It is an exciting task for the artists to design their own personal shirt, to get involved with the shapes deviating from the square and to be able to wear their creation as a fine, three-dimensional product for quite some time. The GERMENS™ customer benefits from an ever-growing selection of unique shirts.

Circuslife

Leonore Zimmermann, Germany

The special feature of GERMENS™-Shirts is the type of the fabric. The consistent linkage of art and clothing is a globally unique concept that reinterprets the typical, classic shirt. It is no longer just a fine piece of clothing, but also collectable edition of art with the potential to increase in value.

Emperor

Steffen Kraushaar, Germany

We distinguish between artwork (e.g., graphics, painting) and the surface pattern of the garment. Every artist or designer is required to engage in the three-dimensional object „shirt“ and to apply creative work to it. This generates exciting new combinations. The artist participates in the sale.

We invite artists from all over the world, and we are looking forward to the creative exchange.

Teemu Kaski Finland

The Finnish artist Teemu Kaski painted this very colorful template for the shirt ”Knockout.“

GERMENS™ shirt ROSARIUM

Ari Fuchs, Germany

Why should I do the work? What do I get from that? Some of these questions may arise, but most artists are enthusiastic about the possibility of finally seeing and wearing their artistic work as a shirt of the highest quality. So far you could design T-shirts, but not shirts. GERMENS™, after many years of development, has succeeded in producing a top new product.
