EVANGELION:95 Drops 1995-Style Graphic Tees

EVANGELION:95 has released its inaugural Fall/Winter 2026 collection, comprising five graphic T-shirts that translate pivotal imagery from the anime series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' into apparel designed to evoke a 1995 aesthetic. These T-shirts are positioned as distinct fashion statements rather than conventional merchandise, with each design meticulously crafted to reflect specific scenes and artwork from the franchise. The construction of each garment is a core element of the collection's concept. All five shirts are made from a 6.5oz heavyweight 100% cotton fabric, described by the brand as smooth to the touch, durable, and absorbent. To achieve the intended vintage appearance, EVANGELION:95 incorporates deliberate body fading and intentional distressing at the collar and cuffs. This aging process is integral to the design, creating a worn-in finish that enhances the graphics, with the distressing elements integrated from the outset rather than being treated as imperfections. The selected graphics represent some of the most impactful moments in the 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' narrative. Two T-shirts are derived from the film 'The End of Evangelion.' The '0097' T-shirt, presented in white, features Unit-01's awakening scene accompanied by the text "AWAKENING." The '0099' T-shirt, in black, showcases the Mass Production Evas and is set against the brand's original anti-A.T. Field pattern. Another pair of T-shirts draws inspiration from the ninth episode of the TV series, titled "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win." This episode's dramatic clash between Units 01 and 02 and the Angel Israfel is depicted across the front and back of these shirts, with each sleeve marked by an in-scene countdown timer. The fifth T-shirt in the collection references the franchise's musical history. The '0103' T-shirt, in black, is designed around the CD jacket illustration for Yoko Takahashi's single "Soul's Refrain," which served as the theme song for the film 'Death & Rebirth.' The brand's commitment to a 1995 aesthetic extends to the choice of materials and the application of aging techniques, aiming to provide fans with apparel that feels authentically retro. The heavyweight cotton provides a substantial feel, while the fading and distressing simulate years of wear. This approach ensures that each graphic stands out against the aged backdrop, creating a unique piece of wearable art that connects directly to the visual language of the original anime's era. The selection of specific scenes and artwork highlights key narrative arcs and visual motifs that have resonated with fans since the series' initial broadcast.
