This shirt features an image of Joe Dallesandro from Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey’s 1970 film Trash, one of the defining works of Warhol’s post-Factory era — raw, erotic, and beautifully unpolished. Dallesandro, the ultimate underground icon, embodied a kind of bruised sensuality that made him a countercultural sex symbol for outsiders everywhere.
Trash blurred the line between art and exploitation, turning addiction, desire, and decay into something strangely human — and unmistakably Warhol. With Dallesandro at its center, it became a portrait of beauty without gloss, vulnerability without shame.
