‘Fashion should be fun and bring joy to your life.’

“Fashion should be fun and bring joy to your life.” At fourteen, Phoebe Philo customized her school uniform, turning an imposed sameness into something her own. She told an interviewer in 2002 that she dressed to feel confident and to have fun with it, and carried that instinct into two of fashion’s most serious houses. The small rebellion stayed with her: refuse the uniform you are handed, and wear your own confidence instead — clothes with a grin built into them.

**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).
