MoC Couture
This is an experiment. The firm Spreadshirt are hosting the website above, manufacturing the garments, and processing the orders -- using MoC designs.
MoC commission has been set to zero in order to get the prices as low as possible. The only folk that make money on this venture is Spreadshirt.
We've ordered a few things ourselves and they're very high quality.
The website is Euro-centric (they're based in Germany) and the prices are all in Euros.
We hope to add many more designs in the future, and if anyone has any stellar ideas they'd like to "donate"*, the artwork needs to be a 300dpi JPG with a max pixel height or width of 1500. This results in a 1 or 2MB file, which can be emailed to margot@mastersofcinema.org
Thanks!
(*Disclaimer. Please don't get upset if we don't use your design. We're quite fernickety, and we apologise in advance for being so. Thanks!)

Ok - the vector-based plot printing is a no-go for these designs. It's only for lineart shapes constructed from scratch as vector graphics.
Off-set printing is the only way to get the colour printing onto any coloured shirt.
Unfortunately, the "off-set printing" method has nasty setup costs of $70-90 per item and takes 3-4 weeks for them to prepare before it can be added to the shop.
It's not looking like we'll be able to use any coloured shirts in the foreseeable I'm afraid.

This is so geeky it's cool.
However, the only ones I would get are the Vigo and the Bunuel. As much as I love Ozu and Tarkovsky, wearing a shirt with both their name in huge letters and an actual photo seems too... obvious(?). Just a photo or just their name seems less obvious and therefore more cool.

Maybe taking the writing off the tshirts (or making the writing smaller might work..)... also possibly having the tshirts in a simple black shirt with white image and then also in a white background with black image might work. In particular with the pink Yamanaka prints... who got that idea
I can't be sure about the thong tho... I don't wear them normally...

Was looking at the couture, and have to agree that only the Bunuel and the Vigo ones work in a stylish kind of way. The Dovzhenko would work as well, if it weren't for the grey square behind the design. The whiteness doesn't work very well either for the most part....the only type of shirt I like as a shirt is the Promodoro Raglan (with the colored sleeves)....
But I still really like the idea A LOT, I have been searching for a while now for shirts that are both geeky AND stylish (and affordable I might add).
It got me thinking, why not a shirt with the sole figure of Franscesco or the cover of Punishment park (white shirt with black silhouettes or the other way around)... Names could work as well, but they should have a certain style. Ozu doesn't work in a way that reminds me of Ozu...Murnau in the style of the Ufa Faust logo, now that's another story (if you put that logo on a shirt I'll buy it for sure). In MoC beautiful designs there are lots off details that would be beautifully suited for a shirt. Probably a lot of them wouldn't work from a copyright point of view, but still it's worth looking into. Whether it's the names, drawings, photo's or film titles......one big no-no for me for all shirts are rectangular shapes...
