‘I don’t believe in making fashion difficult.’

“I don’t believe in making fashion difficult.” Around her 2008 Céline debut, Phoebe Philo made this her whole thesis in a sentence: luxury that simply works, a bag you can actually carry, clothes that ask for no instruction manual. She kept the difficulty out on purpose. There is a quiet politics in that — the choice to make a fine thing easy to live with rather than a puzzle designed to keep most people out.

**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).
