LAD Musician Mirrored "La Morphiniste" T-Shirt (1990s)

An evocative archival piece from LAD Musician’s 1990s collections, this graphic t-shirt references Eugène Grasset’s 1897 lithograph “La Morphiniste,” an Art Nouveau-era work depicting a woman injecting morphine into her thigh. The original artwork is reproduced twice across the garment—once in its original composition and once mirrored and inverted—creating a striking visual exploration of duality, reflection, and hidden realities.

Reflecting LAD Musician’s long-standing connection to rock culture and its exploration of the darker narratives surrounding the music scene, the graphic presents a contrast between glamour and excess, examining the tension behind the idealized image of the “rockstar lifestyle.” Crafted from a substantial, soft cotton, the t-shirt features a comfortable oversized feel with a distinctive archival LAD Musician seam tag.

A rare vintage piece that bridges fashion, art, and cultural commentary, this garment captures the label’s ability to transform graphic references into conceptual statements.
