Description
This is an original vintage Venus In Furs graphic t-shirt, produced during the early–mid 1990s era of ironic, subversive underground fashion graphics. Venus In Furs pieces are closely associated with counter-culture humor, anti-establishment messaging, and provocative visual language that defined alternative streetwear and indie graphic output of the decade. The “Save Sex Until Marriage” slogan paired with the intentionally confrontational graphic reflects the era’s satirical response to conservative moral campaigns prevalent in late 80s–90s Western culture. Construction details such as single-stitch hems, period-correct fabric weight, and authentic Venus In Furs tag placement confirm this as an original production piece, not a modern reproduction. These shirts were produced in limited runs and were never mass-marketed, making surviving examples increasingly scarce. Highly desirable for archive collectors, graphic historians, and serious vintage buyers seeking culturally significant 1990s subversive apparel. ⸻ AUTHENTICITY • Original vintage piece • Early–mid 1990s production • Authentic Venus In Furs tag • Single stitch construction • Not a reprint ⸻ MEASUREMENTS (INCHES) • Chest (pit to pit): 20 in • Length (shoulder to hem): 24 in ⸻ CONDITION Good vintage condition with age-appropriate fade throughout. Natural fading to black consistent with era and wear. Print shows archival wear but remains clearly legible. No structural damage; condition consistent with a true vintage graphic tee. ⸻ Justification: • Rare Venus In Furs graphic • Provocative, culturally relevant slogan • Early 90s original production • Single stitch • Strong demand for subversive archive tees “shares ideological lineage with Warhol-era underground, Velvet Underground sexual politics, and later punk provocation.”
