Airbrushed Fashion

(UPDATED: March 30, 2012)

A plain garment doesn't have to remain plain. Airbrushing your own designs can be a creative way to dress up any average garment. You usually see airbrushed T-shirts and tank tops. The majority of airbrushed fashions are mostly for the hip-hop or urban set. Airbrushed graphics can include things like peoples' names, certain messages, or nicely-designed graphics. Let's take a look at airbrushed fashion.

LATEST UPDATE(S)/REVISION(S):

MAR 30 2012 - updated entire post and made several edits





--- Why Airbrushed? ---

Airbrushing allows for vivid colors and great levels of expression. I remember one time back in college (at Houston Community College-Southeast; represent!), there was an airbrush artist making airbrushed T-shirts for people. What I like most is the color detail. The colors are very vivid and expressive with various color gradients used to design certain airbrushed tops. Really creative airbrush artists are able to make all kinds of vivid designs with a simple T-shirt or tank top or whatever.

It's about the color for me, especially with white tops. White T-shirts and tank tops essentially serve as an easel for airbrush artists to work their airbrushed masterpiece.
