If you’ve ever looked at a can of sardines and thought, "That would make a great outfit," then congratulations—you’re officially on trend! Food art is having a moment in the apparel world, and 2025’s breakout star is the t-shirt. From painterly sardine tins to ripe avocados and steaming pizza slices, culinary illustrations tap into nostalgia and delight. Major retailers like ASOS and Mango have already embraced foodie fashion, proving there’s an appetite for delicious designs. Social media’s "tinned-fish date night" craze has also elevated simple snacks into pop-culture icons.
At VortexVestments we think a shirt should make you hungry *and* make you laugh. Imagine a shirt that says "I’m a big dill" alongside a grinning pickle or one that features a cheeky tuna claiming, "I’m kind of a big fish." These quirky designs pair nostalgia with humor and instantly brighten any outfit. To jump on the food-art trend, play with retro palettes (think warm oranges, avocado greens, and pastel pinks) and hand-drawn illustrations. And don’t stop at fish—coffee cups, tacos, donuts and even tinned peaches can be charming muses. Because when fashion meets food, everyone wins!
