The Return of the Pre-SS13 Collection!

As a renegade fashion brand, we are back again with another collection that comes at you like a punch in the throat. Overflowing with couture embellishments, elaborate details, and a nuanced look at the raw, unadulterated style of punk rock, this collection stares in the face of the fashion industry.

With the re-release of our Pre-SS13 collection, we are bringing you a stunning collection of tees that have proved so popular we couldn’t keep them on the shelves. Overwhelming response has shown this to be one of our most highly-acclaimed collections, and so it is with a proud smirk and a knowing glance that we bring you, once again, this epic collection.

 

Each tee in this collection features its own custom-designed set of exquisite details, hand-crafted and intricately considered. From subtle musical references, like dozens guitar-plectrum shaped fabric pieces coalescing to create the soaring shape of an eagle, to the in-your-face punk vibe of skulls and guitars crafted from safety pins, each tee has its own story to tell. With a high attention to detail and a shameless desire to constantly break the mold, Elvis Jesus has cleverly adapted non-standard fashion materials to create high-end products. Manipulating safety pins and metal rivets, chain links and heavy embroidery, the couture details are evident in every inch of our tees.

 

Always one to play off of opposites, juxtaposing rock with religion, heroes against anti-heroes, and fashion against politics, EJ once again stands alone in a sea of standard menswear. 

  
Online and in stores, this epic collection is making its re-debut in a matter of days, in our flagship store at the Manchester Trafford Centre, in Harvey Nichols and various online retailers.

Pretty Vacant: A Look at EJ Detail

Back with another blast of Elvis Jesus detailing, today we bring you our epic tee, Pretty Vacant. This intricately crafted tee features a hand-embellished signature Elvis Jesus Guitar Cross. Hundreds and hundreds of safety pins in tonal metal colours and differing sizes are painstakingly applied and delicately places in an impactful, sprawling design which explodes across the front of the chest.


The base is printed front and back in an ornate floral design to give a frame for the dynamic graphic application. The swirling mass of safety pins circles the shirt and intermingle with the printed pattern.
 

This heavily embellished take on the classic Elvis Jesus logo is sure to turn heads and garner tons of attention. Who can resist the clever use of alternative materials, especially a punk sock staple like the safety pin? With a heavy rock and roll flair, this tee isn't one to miss! We're rolling out a re-release of this collection in early March, so it's almost time for you to get your very own!

Droid: A Look at EJ Detail

I'm back to bring you another sneak peek into the fantastic detail that is hand-worked into every Elvis Jesus design. Today we are looking at a fan favorite, Droid. This Elvis Jesus reinvention of a rock and roll classic brings a dynamic twist to the iconic skull motif. Thousands of safety pins, selected in a range of metallic tones and sizes, are laboriously hand applied in an intricate layered design.

This creates a beautifully crafted, defined skull image. The sheen of embellishment is offset by the tonal discharge print to front and back, which gives a textured effect.

Taking a note from the classic punk rock style of metal hardware and safety pins adorning both clothing and piercings, this tee shirt lends a refined flair to a symbolic item. Our attention to detail is flawless, and our clever use of everyday objects guarantees that heads will turn as you walk down the street in this lavish tee.


Due to the overwhelming response to this tee, we are re-releasing the entire Elvis Jesus Pre SS13 collection in early March. Stay tuned to get your hands on one of these specialty tees and show your rocking style!
