1980s Marcel Laeuffer Monochrome Cityscape Print Shirt, Amsterdam

An architectural fever dream rendered in ink and bone. The bold monochrome all-over "art print" (abstract architectural/cityscape motif), the boxy short-sleeve camp-collar cut, and the fluid drape of what looks like rayon or viscose are hallmarks of that retro window. Found vintage in Amsterdam, it has the loose, easy cut of a piece made to be thrown on and adored, equal parts art print and après-midi nonchalance.

Labelled Marcel Laeuffer, the kind of small European maker whose graphic prints capture a very particular continental cool. Allover photographic and architectural prints had their heyday across the 1980s and 1990s, when fashion flirted shamelessly with surrealism and the city itself became a textile. A piece like this is a wearable postcard from that moment.
