Garment 22: The T-shirt issue

Garment Magazine, an annual publication created by students of the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI), is back with its 22nd edition: “The t-shirt Issue”. This year’s magazine shifts its gaze to a garment so familiar, it’s almost invisible: the t-shirt. With billions of t-shirts produced every year, the scale is impossible to ignore. In a world where more is never enough, the 2025 issue calls for a pause. It invites readers to shift their perspectives, to appreciate what they already have, and to recognise the true value of the t-shirt. Because a t-shirt isn’t just a t-shirt. It’s everywhere. And it matters. The magazine explores the power of the t-shirt by presenting two contrasting worlds: one with the t-shirt, and one without. Its singular fold-out format reflects this duality: begin reading from either side to explore each perspective, or open both together to experience the contrast in full. The result is an inspiring and innovative look at the t-shirt’s versatility and a reminder of what we lose when it’s gone.
