Wow – Threadless is one of our favorite websites to check out what’s cool in the T-shirt world, and to occasionally buy some garb, and it looks like aMBUSH Gallery will be helping to put on a great little exhibition and event this Friday to showcase all the creative genius behind it. Of course, it wouldn’t be a T-shirt show here in Oz without T-worlds involvement, and the affably cool Eddie Zammit will be curating the entire thing.

“No matter where you live, there are billions of people wearing T-shirts right now. A large proportion of these people are wearing graphic tees. And you can bet there are many thousands of Threadless tees in that number. Threadless now boast a community of 1.8 million designers and design lovers, who post, vote on and buy unique T-shirt designs – over 1,000 are submitted each week.
When it rains, it pours. And it will most certainly be raining T-shirts this Friday night. T-shirt worlds collide as the planet’s most formidable online T-shirt force Threadless and the globe’s only T-shirt journal, T-world, combine to ‘make great together’. The venue aMBUSH Gallery, is the perfect destination for this collision.

The public event is an open house to view Threadless artworks, as curated by Eddie Zammit’s T-world. This will be T-world’s first event after spending several months in New York launching the current edition. “Vivid Ideas were very generous in allowing us to partner with Threadless for this ‘one night only’ event. I have a few things up my sleeve, even though I only ever wear T-shirts! Clearly you’ll see plenty of T-shirt art and I’m super keen to show off some emerging and leading Threadless talent,” Zammit says.

According to Nickell, who is visiting Sydney for the Vivid Ideas festival to present a keynote talk,  “I’ve been following T-world for quite some time and I’ve been extremely impressed by the depth and quality of the content and the journal itself. Eddie sure knows how to dig in, and puts everything he has into it. The events he puts together are unbelievably well thought out and over the top… in a good way!”
The exhibition will include 200 x Threadless T-shirts curated by T-world, 10+ featured Threadless artworks and renowned Australian illustrator Ben Brown will be painting a wall mural exclusively for the evening.”

This is a brilliant opportunity to get a glimpse behind some of the greatness that has made Threadless into one of the most popular T-shirt websites in the world. Over 200 shirts! Artwork! Live art by BEN BROWN!!
