Sp5der 555555 Burgundy Charcoal Graphic Tank Top

The Tank Top Is the Garment That Has Decided the Sleeve Is Unnecessary. The Sleeve Exists to Cover the Arm, to Extend the Garment Beyond the Torso, to Keep the Fabric Between the Graphic and the World. The Tank Top Removes All of That and Leaves Only What Cannot Be Removed: the Body, the Graphic, and the Space Between Them, Which in the Case of the Sp5der 555555 Tank Top Is No Space at All — the Spider Web Against the Skin, the Way a Real Spider Web Is Against Whatever Surface It Is Built On. — Sp5der 555555 Tank Top in Burgundy Charcoal.

The Sp5der 555555 Tank Top is the garment that most directly addresses the relationship between the graphic and the body that wears it — the question of how much distance there should be between the design and the person, and what happens to the design when that distance is reduced to zero. A T-shirt keeps the graphic at arm’s length, literally: the sleeve extends the garment beyond the shoulder, creating a frame around the graphic that separates it from the body and presents it as an image to be looked at rather than a surface to be inhabited. The tank top removes the sleeve and with it the frame, collapsing the distance between the graphic and the body until the spider web is not something the wearer is displaying but something the wearer is wearing in the most direct sense — the web against the skin, the pattern as close to the body as fabric can be without becoming the body. The spider web is the design that most naturally belongs in this relationship with the body — because a real spider web is not a free-standing structure but a structure that is always attached to something, always built in relationship to the surfaces that support it, always defined by its connection to the environment it inhabits rather than by its existence independent of that environment. The Sp5der 555555 Tank Top puts the web where it belongs: against the surface it is built on. Burgundy Charcoal is the colorway that holds the most tension of any colorway in the Sp5der palette — Burgundy is the color of heat, of depth, of the organic and the historical, the color of wine and autumn and the interior of things that have been alive for a long time; Charcoal is the color of cold, of industry, of the processed and the contemporary, the color of the material that remains after fire has done its work and the organic has been converted into something harder and more permanent. Together they are the temperature of the Sp5der universe: the heat of the organic and the cold of the industrial, held in the same garment, against the same skin, in the same web.
