3 contemporary illustrators create a one off t-shirt collection.

Ellesse heritage unveils a new limited edition capsule range of graphic prints created by contemporary illustrators – Allan Deas, Marcela Gutierrez and Miron Milic.

Artists roamed around the ellesse archive for tennis photographs to adapt to their own style of work. The graphics have been printed on girls and boys tees just in time for summer.

Allan created two humours illustrations; the man with the moustache and the girl with the sexy straw pose are tongue in cheek, bold, loud and most importantly they look great on white tees.

Marcela based hers on one classic 70s Calendar Girls image. Her creation reflects her fashion illustration credentials and make for an elegant tee.

Miron went for the forehand Organgutan, a comical approach to the action shot of a former iconic ellesse tennis player. Guess who it is?
