‘If I Became a Sex’ — Poly Styrene Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“If I became a sex symbol, I would shave my head.” Poly Styrene told the press this during X-Ray Spex’s first run in 1977–78 — then kept the receipt, unwinding her turban at the Rock Against Racism concert in Victoria Park in 1978 to show she had done exactly what she promised. She wrote her own escape clause in advance: set the terms of your image before anyone else can set them for you.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
