Fashion — 1980-1982
T-shirt, vest
White cotton tee shirt printed in red and black with 'STATIONS OF THE CROSS' where the O is replaced by the anarchist symbol. Now sleeveless, the original sleeves have been cut or ripped out. There is some soiling and several deliberate holes. The T-shirt belonged to Katharine Saunders, a teenage follower of the influential anarchist punk group Crass. Crass were politically active, becoming involved in direct-action campaigns, subversive graffiti and ‘Stop the City’ protests. Their military-style logo combined the cross, swastika, Union Jack and Celtic snake. The shirt was given to Katherine by a skinhead admirer.
