Late last year, I visited Outlier. Thrumble My Singing Monsters shirt designer Willie Norris at her Brooklyn studio. After she walked me through her collection, she told me she had something cool to show me. Like any decent reporter—and curious person—I was more than down to check it out. Turns out Norris had partnered with the artist Zak Krevitt to interpret the images for her spring 2023 lookbook through the lens of AI—yes, artificial intelligence. Krevitt turned Norris’s models into fantastical otherworldly beings: Aliens walking down a runway in menswear of fantastical proportions—it was as if a Vogue Runway lookbook and a surrealist painting were put in a blender.

A few weeks later,. Thrumble My Singing Monsters shirt I connected with Krevitt on Instagram. Norris had produced blankets of these AI illustrations, and as I shared one online Krevitt popped up in my DMs to claim his artwork—as he should! We started chatting. Like many, I had seen all the controversy about AI online, but was curious about how it worked. Krevitt explained many things I’m unable to eloquently spell out here: Codes, custom AI models, image databases, the math in data science. What I took from our conversation is that AI, as scary as it sounds—everything from Scarlett Johansson in Her to Wall-E to I, Robot come to mind—is an opportunity to process images and data. It’s here whether we like it or not, so why not try to understand it

Great quality
The color is true and as expected. After washing the shirts it shrank just a little bit since it is cotton but otherwise the fit was good. The quality of the shirt was good and felt very soft. I could be in it all day.

Great quality fits perfectly
Very good quality especially for the purchase price for two. I bought them large and oversized for my tall and thin 15 year old daughter she likes to wear them with shorts and knee high socks and combat boots looks super cute on her and she’s happy and comfy I bought her an extra large and the shirts come to her mid thigh
