2. 1950-1955 The Big Screen

During this period, the T-shirts were worn by movie stars John Wayne, Marlon Brando and James Dean on national TV. In 1951, Marlon Brando shocked Americans in his film "A Streetcar Named Desire" when his T-Shirt was ripped off of his body revealing his naked chest.

In 1955, the T-Shirt which known as under garment was worn without another shirt covering it. In movie “Rebel Without A Cause”, James Dean projected a cool image with T-shirt, making T-Shirt a significant icon of rebellious youth.
