Description
Rare 1994 Rage against the Machine wall flag scarf featuring a large graphic of Che Guevara. The scarf is primarily black with white and yellow screenprint graphics. The piece depicts Che Guevara in Alberto Korda's iconic "Guerrillero Heroico" photograph. The photograph was taken on March 5, 1960, in Havana, Cuba. Guevara was attending a memorial service for the victims of the La Coubre French munitions freighter explosion.
The scarf is from the RATM 1994 tour, where they performed their titular debut album (the cover of which depicts the 1963 self - immolation of Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức in Saigon, performed in protest of President Ngô Đình Diệm's persecution of Buddhists,) and treated the audience to a preview of their 1996 album "Evil Empire."

Geoffrey Beene began his career in the 1950s, designing under numerous New York houses including Teal Traina, finally opening his own label in 1963. Beene was incredibly conscious of the human body, and was particularly regardful of the figure in motion - as Beene once said“clothing is nothing until it hits the body." His designs were created to work with the client’s body, encasing it lightly and giving it a more artful structure. Beene's reinterpretations of dress formality, use of synthetics, and unusual combination of materials (accessories in acrylic and diamonds, for example), set him aside from his contemporaries who focused on the business of fashion, rather than the artistry of fashion.
