Feedback from today's session: I really like your history of 100 t-shirts idea it'll be good to see all of the shirts side by side and compare them over the years. A couple pointers and things to think about: will it fold out to be a poster or just stay as a book? personally I like the idea of the fold out poster, and how it could work as a book at the same time, but that said stock prices will need to be thought of. How big will it be? You said most fashion books are large and square which could work well with the shape of the t-shirts.
