You’re Going to Want This T-Shirt
Better yet, you’re going to need it.
November 21, 2025 — Miami, USA
To want is to have a desire to posses something. To need is to require something because it is essential.
Furthering the purpose of a Prada print ad, exploring consumer culture, Miami-based fashion merchandiser Kyle DuBois offers an essential graphic tee, titled Wants and Needs.
Drawing inspiration from Drake and Lil Baby’s five-time platinum song Wants and Needs, the graphic artwork features a handmade photomontage, made exclusively of cut and pasted magazines. Additionally, each garment is handled like a work of fine art, screen-printed locally in Miami, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Kyle DuBois was born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Daegu, Korea—a textile manufacturing city. He earned a BA in fashion merchandising from Miami International University of Art and Design, and has worked for the likes of Nike, Urban Outfitters, Diesel, MCM, Adidas, Apple, and the Miami Heat.
Per Section 107 of the Copyright Act, Kyle’s transformative use of the Prada print advertisement adds something new, with a further purpose, and does not substitute for the original. Furthermore, the artist’s unlicensed use does not harm the existing or future market for Prada’s work.
