Born in Thailand and raised with a punk rock ethos and DIY mentality, Henry Miyoshi of
Korrupt Label creates deconstructed, highly detailed t-shirts and hoodies layered with
text, images and patches proudly self made in West Oakland, California.

Refuting technology and Photoshop, Henry prefers to use copy machines to size his
images and relies on old fashioned collage and paste ups to create new images and
screens for printing. Using multiple screens on the back and front of his shirts, he
intricately layers text and images to create a unique personal narrative. Keeping with
his deconstructionist aesthetic, he recalls his past of sewing punk rock t-shirts and pants
with dental floss by cutting apart his shirts and re-stitching them back together again.
Patches that have been tea dyed and screen printed are often sewn on to the shirts
ever increasing the layering effect of his wearable works of art. Imagery of bugs reflect
his childhood exotic bug collection in Thailand.

Along with Henryʼs t-shirts, he also deconstructs hoodies in a similar manner and
creates patches for sale. These patches can help prolong the life of other peopleʼs
clothing, breathing new life into old clothing in true DIY style.
In the future, Henry hopes to expand his line to include womenʼs styles and a return to
his couture line of one of a kind deconstructed menʼs suit coats and clothing. Within this
line, he will re-visit and expound upon his past work that provided the initial inspiration
for Korrupt Label. Henryʼs clothing can be found at many Bay Area shows and through
his website, korruptlabel.com one-of-a-kind apparel is individually deconstructed in the garment district of Oakland West.
