‘The older I get, the more collections I do, the more I’m driven by real style and beauty. My aim is to reveal and not to display women.’

“The older I get, the more collections I do, the more I’m driven by real style and beauty. My aim is to reveal and not to display women.” Phoebe Philo said this to the critic Sarah Mower in December 2002, three seasons into remaking Chloé and not yet thirty. To reveal rather than display, she said, is to treat a woman as the subject of her own presence, sensual on her own terms, rather than an object arranged for the viewer. She was drawing, in the language of clothes, the line between being seen and being consumed.

**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).
