Description

The article suggests that The Wizard of Oz (1939) may have invented the graphic T-shirt, featuring the first documented instances in film. Workers in the Emerald City are seen wearing green shirts with "Oz" in white font. While T-shirts became popular outerwear after World War II, pop culture historians believe the film's costume designer likely created these graphic shirts to enhance the otherworldly feel of Oz, making them a simple yet revolutionary piece of clothing that influenced later fashion.
