These photographs are not about the t-shirt per se. The messages are combinations of pictures and words that reveal much about the identity of the wearer. They tell who these people are and who they aren't, who they want to be and what they want us to know about them. They advertise their hopes, ideals, political views, and personal mantras. Begun in 2009,TEE has taken Susan Barnett to cities and tourist spots throughout the United States and Europe to record the ever-changing messages.

For over 100 years, the T-shirt has been a blank canvas for men the world over - a billboard for advertising their style. This comprehensive guide collects the greatest designs ever seen, from the original US Navy plain white tee that started it all to the iconic logos of Stussy, Obey, A Bathing Ape and all of the cutting-edge brands that make up the global streetwear scene today.
