You probably won’t look as incredibly hot as the model wearing this week’s Fashion Zombie pick when you wear it (unless you do, in which case send pictures and we’ll run them!), but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a damn awesome shirt. It’s called Moon Ghoul and it’s by artist Dave Cook, designed especially for Zombie!

In case you’ve forgotten (or haven’t read the site that long), the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse has a long history with Zombie!, an art/rock project by Eric Weiss. We helped him publicize his plight when Rob Zombie’s dick lawyers were after him to change his name (Rob Zombie personally intervened and called his over-enthusiastic lawyer army off) and one of the other Zombie! designs was featured in My Favorite Zombie Things, a feature photo post I did a while ago that was something of  precursor to Fashion Zombie. Now, it’s time to feature another one of his designs (which is also a personal favorite of mine).

Let’s face it, when it comes to zombies, many of us have wondered how the other half lives. Sure, it’s noble to ask your buddy to put one in your head so you don’t come back, but deep down we all kinda hope he’ll miss and we’ll get a chance to wander around all dead-eyed and hungry. And that makes today’s shirt a must-have for any zombie fan who’s honest with themselves about this unspoken desire.

Also, you can get it cheap, thanks to Crazy Dog T-shirt’s discount offer to you, the good people who read this site!

For the most part, Fashion Zombie has looked at garments that cover your torso. There are many reasons for this — your torso is the largest part of your body, for example! Also, it’s where you keep your guts, and zombies love guts. However, they also love brains, so it’s high time we did a hat. Thus, today we look to Booster Pants’ Zombie Nation collection for this fine dome cover!

Nothing says “zombie” like something that’s back from the dead, even if the thing that’s back from the dead is an ages-old (in Internet terms) meme such as “All your base are belong to us.” Remember that one? (If not, use Google to edumacate yourself already!) And here it is, back from the dead and freshly zombified in the form of a “All your brains are belong to us” zombie shirt.

This week’s Fashion Zombie pick has a simple, clear message: Kill, or be food. When the inevitable zombie apocalypse comes, that’s rule number one! And the design leans toward the relatively subtle side — well, there’s no gore or viscera on the shirt, anyway. Just a little crest over your heart with crossed chainsaws under the word Dezombifier and that simple, inspirational message (plus the company’s initials, TTOFS).

The back features your nutritional info, which is a useful shopping guide for any zombies on the prowl. You can see images of the back, as well as a shirt picture that shows the design in contest, below. Or you can head directly to the Try This on for Size website and buy the Dezombifier shirt for $15. Whatever makes you happy.

This week we take a look at a pro-labor zombie sentiment, in the form of this fine poster T-shirt (that is, a poster-style design on a T-shirt) advertising for the Zombie miners union local 432. Hey, zombie labor needs to collectively bargain, just like everyone else does. Plus, you can pair this with your “Join us for a better death” shirt for a week of good ol’ fashioned socialist zombie sentiment.

This shirt (designed by Mark Bloom, if the name on the poster is to be believed) is another Etsy find, from the mind and store of Etsy user Zed’s Zombie Ranch. You can own it for $20 + $3 shipping in the US. A little steep, perhaps, but it’s a DIY/indie thing, so it’s not like you’re being ripped off by some soulless megacorp. And presumably, it’s all made with unionized zombie labor, so there’s that.

I like to call this week’s Fashion Zombie “breaking in” and it’s got something of a double meaning. On the one hand, it’s clearly a zombie breaking in to your carefully fortified house. On the other, it’s one of the premiere selections from Above the Pants, the new T-shirt wing of the excellent zombie site Buy Zombie. So, you see, they’re kind of breaking in to the T-shirt business. UPDATE: The art is by Byron Rempel of IDrawZombies.com.

Ahem. Pardon my predilection for terrible puns. I love them almost as much as I love zombies.

When you need your zombies adorably cute, look no further than today’s Fashion Zombie pick: the Zombee. This sad little undead insect is sure to buzz his way right into your heart. Heck, my wife might even like this one (I’ll ask her when she gets home). If you have a taste for terrible puns, as I do, you’re sure to love it even more.

You can wear the sad little zombee for a variety of prices. Head over to the zombee’s home at Zazzle and price it out on anything from a “value T-shirt” (~$15) to an American Apparel (~$23). Pricey? Yes. But what price cuteness? Oh, and check out designer lulubean’s other stuff, too — no more zombies, but some groovy designs based on your favorite Internet memes and more.
