Duran’s “merder tees” spiced up the tees night. from the name, you can probably induce that the theme is about the subject of murder. the show began with a projection of a jumble fuzzy old school black box tv screen where images of prominent people who were assassinated were shown. large graphic prints of the famously murdered such as Lady Diana, Kennedy and twin towers were creatively splashed across the Duran’s tees. there was a shirt printed with Martin Luther King Jr. that had a caption of “I Had a Dream.” when asked about that quote, the designer said that it is “had” not “have” because MLK Jr. is dead now, so it’s past tense. each of these t-shirts are sold in a forensic inspection bag and $5 of each sale goes to a unique charity related to the murdered person on the tshirt. for example, the $5 proceed from the 9/11 tee will be donated to the fire fighters fund. the designer, the models and most importantly the t-shirts was full of character, extremely edgy and dangerously fun. Duran in, merder mystery out!
