86、 Dean wore classic white T-shirts in their films. After that, every young man wanted to wear one. Women didnt begin to wear T-shirts until the end of the 1950s.

88、o prison in 1970, people all around the world were wearing T-shirts with the message “Free Angela”. In the 1970s, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent designed a famous blue T-shirt with his name in white letters. Giorgio Armani has also used T-shirts in his fashion shows. And in 2001, a number of white “Jadore Dior” T-shirts sold quickly at over$100 each!
