Cream cotton shirt with fraying edged seams and print design in black on the back.
Material: garment dyed deconstructed shirt
Notes: the first season experimenting with garment washing and dying how the exposed seams fray and distort, this shirt was washed to look like a white shirt that had been dirty so many times from work that even once clean it retains a yellow/ brown hue.
