Link: The link to many Dante's Inferno T-shirts can be found
here...http://www.zazzle.com/dantes+inferno+tshirts
The other day, I was wondering what ways Dante's Inferno has been
used in modern culture. Many people have profited from Inferno, whether it be
by means of creating a film or video game, but I wondered if Dante ever thought
that one day people would be making and wearing clothing after what he had
written. There are many articles of clothing out there that use imagery and
texts from Dante's Inferno as a fashion symbol. Whether it be T-shirts,
sweaters, coats, etc...If there is a way, it has most likely been done.
Even the tone of Dante's Inferno is played with in clothing, as it
is used in either serious ways, straight from the work itself, or it is used
out of context as a joke or simply a cool design or motto. The clothing is an
off-beat and different way to express Dante's Inferno. The shirts in the link
show Dante's Inferno as something very grim and hell-like, but also something
very artistic and meaningful, which I believe Dante intended as well.
