ERD MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION GIRL SHIRT

ERD MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADUATION GIRL SHIRT

The ERD Middle School Graduation Girl Shirt looks innocent from the front and incriminating from the back. Cream-toned, cut short-sleeved with a soft rounded Peter Pan collar and a single chest pocket, it reads at first like something pulled from a school uniform closet — buttoned plain, faintly marked with age spots and a scrap of red text tucked near one shoulder, the kind of small imperfection that suggests this shirt has already lived a childhood before it became a garment.

Then you see the back, and the whole thing turns into evidence. Dense, overlapping handwriting in black, pink, and blue ink covers nearly the entire panel — the unmistakable scrawl of a yearbook page, signatures and inside jokes and half-legible promises to stay in touch, all crammed onto cotton the way a graduating class crams a decade of feeling onto a single collared shirt. It’s nostalgia rendered claustrophobic, sentiment turned into clutter, sincerity written so thick it becomes almost illegible.

Made from 500gsm cotton in a fitted, youthful silhouette rather than ERD’s usual oversized drape, the shirt is produced in a strictly limited micro-batch, individually hand-finished with its own placement of stains and script so no two shirts carry quite the same “class.” It comes in S, M, L, and XL. The dense handwritten print is fragile by nature, so check garment care before this one meets water 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 mines childhood and adolescence for material — uniforms, report cards, yearbooks — turning coming-of-age nostalgia into something closer to unease, hyper-exclusive objects that make growing up look like the first thing worth grieving.

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