Screen-printed top & jeans
Mike Brookfield and Rik Read started the fashion label Virus in 1986. The print on the jeans was called Crowley, named for the iconic image of Aleister Crowley who Wikipedia says, "was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century".
