Keeping with the concept that every ending is a new beginning, the Your Biggest BANG team gave their old T-shirt a new life. By printing the logo on an old white shirt, they upcycled it, making it new again. Here is a short explanation of the lifecycle of their T-shirts.
Who: Zyrah Montebon Lifecycle: “This white T-shirt came a long way. It has seen Asia and now it is still rockin’ here in the EU. Who knows, it might just see the seven wonders as well.”
Who: Rebecca Starkey Lifecycle: “Miss T-shirt, bought for 5 pounds, in England. She travelled to America where she lived for 3 months. She jumped 15,000 feet out of a plane over the Kennedy space centre and is now enjoying life in Amsterdam.”
Who: Roos Smits Lifecycle: “It was my boyfriend’s, he got it when he was eight. Back then it was too big, it fit him for a while, but now it is so old that it became too big again. For him it still has sentimental value though I’m the one wearing it now.”
Who: Suzanne van Rooij Lifecycle: “This T-shirt was originally a give-away from Hey Travel. When I got home, I threw it in a corner and forgot about it. I used to sleep in it, but now I have an up-cycled T-shirt that is ready to wear!”
Who: Maartje Gruyters Lifecycle: “I got this T-shirt from my sister. She wore it during her belly dancing classes. She gave it to me because it was not suitable for belly dancing.”
Who: Linda van de Wiel Lifecycle: “This was my favourite chill T-shirt. I wore it, because it made me feel good.”
