Reviews
“Ripped is a narrative historu of the punk movement told through photographs of concert T’s culled from Padilla’s copious T-shirt collection.” ~Interview Magazine
"Punk Movement: Cesar Padilla, owner of NYC's Cherry vintage shop, has compiled more than 200 T-shirts distressed and destroyed by some of the biggest names in punk (Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth) for his new book, Ripped: T-shirts From the Underground. And the fixation with iconic rocker tees continues..." ~Elle
"... a visual history of the appeal of the rock-band T-shirt." ~Harper's Bazaar
"In Ripped: T-Shirts from the Underground, Padilla captures more than 200 tees made by (or in homage to) post-punk artists and musicians of the '70s and '80s from his collection. The shirts -- which are shown in all their sweat-stained glory -- chronicle a musical movement that hinged on the DIY." ~Los Angeles Times
