I found this absolutely insane Christian Dior shirt in perfect, perfect condition about 15 years ago in a San Diego thrift store. It's so special I only wear it once every three years or so.
When was this expensive polyester shirt made? I have no clue. I think I can only narrow it down to 1968-1975, maybe even later. Who knows?
The most striking feature of the shirt, obviously, is its crazy fabric. Here's a shot of the back which shows its bogglingly complex pattern:
And, in fact, it isn't a pattern at all, because it doesn't repeat; it's a big piece of artwork. A lot of work went into this print! I wish I knew more about the artist behind this fabric. It reminds me a little of some of the designs Verner Panton used to make, but I don't know anything about these things.
Hot stuff!

being unsophisticated in such matters (though I'm getting better about it) I would probably looked at that shirt and asked "Civil Defense?" I do admit, it's a pretty awesome shirt, though.
Sokkadelic!
It's like the matrix code!
Stare at it long enough, and a portal to Wonderland opens.
Wow! Fantastic shirt! Vintage always has the best designs :-)
Thanks for the wallpaper for my new phone. I used to wear crazy patterns, now most of my button-ups are solid colors.
Yikes!
That men's shirt looks like a retro one than a vintage, its so colorful and I don't think that there are men who will wear it otherwise they are old enough to appreaciate it. It's Christian Dior anyway and its nice.
