Pay homage to Barbara Hammer, one of the leading pioneers of queer cinema. Her 1974 short film Dyketactics is an classic of lesbian freewheeling joy, and the 1992 debut feature film Nitrate Kisses, is a sensual and visual exploration of how hidden, gay personal histories are unearthed and recorded. With retrospectives in the MoMA & Tate London, Hammer is among the first artist to have achieved mainstream acclaim for a lifetime of films made as a lesbian, largely about lesbian culture.
Girls on Tops started in 2017 with the question “wouldn’t it be cool if women in film were treated like rock stars…if Greta Gerwig and Annette Bening had their names on t-shirts too?" Since then their unmistakable, bold prints have become a film fashion fixture, worn by Lynne Ramsay, Greta Gerwig, Rooney Mara, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Annie Clark and more. Proceeds from their sales go toward funding female-led film projects and commissioning female-led film writing.
