Mundi

Reykjavik, Iceland

At the age of 22, Mundi Vondi has already completed six collections, opened his own boutique in Reykjavik, and collaborated in several art projects internationally as one-third of the artgroup MoMs. His adventurous, oversized designs have earned him plenty of attention in Iceland and abroad. For the project, Mundi wanted to give the white t-shirt an identity. He spent six days wearing the t-shirt around Reykjavik, allowing random circumstances--by friends, food, or nature, among others--to leave their imprints. In this way, the t-shirt inherits a part of Mundi's experiences and adventures the same way a son inherits his father's history. Thus, following Icelandic tradition, Mundi named the t-shirt "Mundisson" to explain how, without context, the t-shirt would simply be a dirty garment with a hole in it. However, with context, "Mundisson" inherits its own life and story.
