Enfants Riches Déprimés TV Gone Teen Kills Himself Shirt

The ERD TV Gone Teen Kills Himself Shirt takes the format of a tabloid front page and turns it into a piece of clothing, forcing the viewer to sit with a headline usually skimmed and forgotten in seconds. White cotton, cropped and boxy, the front reads like a clipped news fragment: “TV gone,” in plain black type up top, a gothic blackletter “enfants” running vertically beside it, and a grainy halftone photograph of a hooded figure centered beneath, framed exactly like an archival press image pulled from an old newspaper morgue.

Below the photograph, the line completes itself in blunt block lettering — a headline stripped of any softening context, presented cold, the way tabloids have always presented tragedy: as content first, as a person second. The shirt doesn’t editorialize or add commentary of its own. It simply reproduces the format that already exists in media culture and asks why that format was ever acceptable to begin with — appropriation used as an uncomfortable mirror rather than a punchline.

Made from 500gsm cotton in ERD’s oversized unisex fit, the shirt is produced in a strictly limited micro-batch, individually hand-finished so the halftone print grain shifts slightly from piece to piece. It comes in S, M, L, and XL. The dense black print sits close to the surface and marks easily, so check garment care before this one meets a wash or an iron.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy, colliding 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism. The label frequently appropriates tabloid and media formatting to interrogate how tragedy gets packaged and consumed, producing hyper-exclusive objects that sit deliberately at odds with comfort or good taste.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan.
