Salvador Allende | Unisex eco-friendly hoodie

A drawing by artist Alejandra de la Torre

A vibrant portrait, a political target. Alejandra de la Torre depicts Salvador Allende in a fresh, colorful drawing. On the left lens of his glasses, a cross disrupts this apparent lightness. This motif, recurring in the artist's work, takes on the meaning of a target here: Allende, the man to be taken down by imperialism.

The contrast between the vitality of the colors and this sign of threat gives the portrait its tension. It brings the memory of Allende to life while recalling the violence directed against the political project he embodied. Wearing this drawing means passing on this history and refusing to let it fade away.

This unisex Salvador Allende hoodie pairs this creation with a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester. Its relaxed fit complements your everyday outfits, whether worn with jeans or under an open jacket, to give full prominence to the portrait and the memory it carries.

THE ARTIST: ALEJANDRA DE LA TORRE

A Spanish visual artist, muralist, and illustrator, Alejandra de la Torre was born in 1983 in Castellón de la Plana. A graduate of Fine Arts from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, she also studied in Lisbon and completed an illustration program in Barcelona.

Her work explores individual and collective memory, the passage of time, and the stories told by everyday objects and keepsakes. She also addresses social issues, particularly gender inequality and precarity. Through painting, illustration, street art, and installations, she makes stories visible, especially in public spaces with her murals. Her works have been exhibited in Spain and internationally. An approach that aligns with that of United Souls: keeping memory alive and giving art a place in daily life.

THE CHILEAN PATH TO SOCIALISM

SALVADOR ALLENDE (1908-1973) - CHILE

A Chilean physician and politician, Salvador Allende was elected president in 1970 at the head of the Popular Unity coalition. He championed a project of socialist transformation via democratic means, based notably on wealth redistribution and the nationalization of copper. On September 11, 1973, a military coup d'état overthrew his government. Allende died at the La Moneda palace as Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship began. His final radio address expressed his faith in the future of the Chilean people. United Souls pays tribute to this memory through Alejandra de la Torre’s drawing.
