LADYCOTTON

LADYCOTTON is a project that explores the visual history and identity politics of queerness. With their screen printing, they want to bring attention to the unusual, bizarre and oppressed parts of the queer spectrum. Assembling fetish photography and lettering from cottage-industry fanzines, the group creates limited edition hand-printed zines and hand-dyed t-shirts, paying tribute to unsung heroes. Their alternative and artisanal way of printing T-shirts quickly garnered an audience and inspired collaborations with queer artists that resulted in “merch” sold around the world. In December 2023, they began working with queer performer and “drag terrorist” Christeene, followed by ongoing projects with Fever Ray and artist Anna Uddenberg. Inspired by band merchandise and their own DIY ethos, ladycotton.online creates and sells contemporary printed matter, always with their tongue firmly in cheek. LADYCOTTON is queer-owned and queer-operated from their studio in Montreuil.
