‘I’m not interested in clothes that just convey a certain look or fashion. Clothes for me have always been a form of self-expression.’

“I’m not interested in clothes that just convey a certain look or fashion. Clothes for me have always been a form of self-expression.” A real Phoebe Philo line from her interview years, rooted in a teenager who “never had a massive desire to buy clothes” and reworked what she already owned instead. She wanted clothes to say something true rather than certify a look. Underneath sits a question bigger than any outfit: whether you dress to express who you are, or to signal which crowd you belong to.

**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).
