Purchased at a used clothing store. Cradle of Filth, a UK-based extreme metal band that simultaneously depicts darkness and beauty. One of their representative works, "Cruelty and the Beast" (1998), is known as a gothic and dramatic concept album based on Elizabeth Báthory, and it is a work that defined the band's aesthetic. In recent years, Demna Gvasalia, the designer of Balenciaga, sampled a Cradle of Filth T-shirt design during his Vetements era and brought it into the context of high fashion, leading to a reevaluation of the band. In fact, Cradle of Filth's graphics have become iconic at the intersection of subculture and fashion, attracting attention not only from music fans but also from fashion industry professionals and stylists. Cradle of Filth T-shirts have often been worn in Hollywood and the fashion scene. Actress Kristen Stewart and artist Billie Eilish are famous for showcasing styling that incorporates the Cradle of Filth logo. Furthermore, transcending the boundaries of the metal scene, they have merged with street and luxury styles, and are chosen as key items for celebrities to add a dark and rebellious nuance to their own style. This piece is an official copyright "Cruelty and the Beast" T-shirt. An official reprint from the 2000s. The body tag is missing, so it cannot be identified, but the print has the texture unique to silk screen, and natural cracking due to aging has occurred, giving it the powerful feel of a vintage metal T-shirt. The artwork that emerges on the black background strongly reflects the album's worldview and has a strong presence even when displayed as interior decor. Size Probably XL (Width 58cm / Shoulder width 57cm / Length 75cm) It has a high affinity with recent oversized styling, and it is also recommended to incorporate it in a street style with skinny pants, cargos, or layering. A piece where the history of music and fashion trends intersect. You should be able to feel the charm as a cultural icon, not just a band T-shirt.
