Andy Warhol's Trash T-Shirt
ANDY WARHOL'S TRASH T-SHIRT
A cult film t-shirt available in black cotton.
Joe Dallesandro starred in Andy Warhol's Trash, the 1970 film written and directed by Paul Morrisey.
The Andy Warhol's Trash T-Shirt is inspired by Dallesandro's fifth starring turn in a Warhol produced movie.
Trash (1970) is an American black-and-white experimental film produced by Andy Warhol and directed by Paul Morrissey, starring Joe Dallesandro, Holly Woodlawn, and Jane Forth. The film follows the drug-addled life of Joe, a young man who hustles for money on the streets of New York City.
Joe's life is a constant struggle to survive and score drugs. He is surrounded by a cast of characters who are just as lost and damaged as he is, including Holly, a transvestite who is also struggling with addiction, and Jane, a wealthy socialite who is drawn to Joe's desperation.
The film is notable for its gritty realism and its unflinching portrayal of the dark side of life in New York City. It is also notable for its use of unconventional filmmaking techniques, such as its handheld camerawork and its use of non-professional actors.
Trash was a critical and commercial failure upon its release, but it has since been re-evaluated as a groundbreaking work of cinema. It is now considered to be one of Warhol's most important films.
