This awesome vintage tee honors the legendary film star, James Dean, and it bears the message, "aspire to be different". This phrase expertly summarizes the impact Dean left during his brief stint as a Hollywood actor. During the 1950s, James Dean became an icon for the rebels and disenfranchised youth of the decade. He came to prominence through the movies East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause, in which he played offbeat and dangerously cool outcasts that resonated with the youth of America. The young actor died shortly before the premiere of his third major film, Giant, but his untimely death only solidified Dean's legacy.

While fans mourned the loss of such a promising talent, Dean's career was never tarnished by later roles or celebrity drama. Instead, he was able to forever remain a symbol of teenage angst and rebellion. This shirt is copyright 1982, proving that Dean's impact has endured long past his death. The actor set the standard for youthful defiance and he forever changed American pop culture.

Fits like a modern unisex adult large. This shirt is deadstock, unworn, and new with tags.
