Inspired by his instagram of t-shirts emblazoned with out-of-context and found quotes, Dear T-Shirt is a column which distills a number of candid conversations with writer and architecture curator Lev Bratishenko. Each installment is based on a genuine exchange, lightly modified and made anonymous to allow for that which might otherwise be too spicy — because we need to talk about the too-spicy things. Some details have been changed; nothing has been invented.
