T-Shirt Lao

Some statues were carved mid-scream. Lao starts from one of those — a bearded head with the brow pulled tight and the mouth open, the face of a figure caught in the middle of something — and cracks it open along a jagged diagonal. Through the split, colour gets in: teal running like wet paint, orange bleeding at the edges, drips gathering under the chin. Above it, an orange ring hovers off-centre, a halo that has slipped. The story is not a destruction; it is a leak. Whatever the stone was holding in is finally coming out, in colours the marble never had. The chest carries the same head at small size, so the piece reads as an emblem from the front and a full image from behind. The teal and orange stay electric — pale denim and a white sneaker keep everything else out of the way. Cut oversized and boxy with dropped shoulders, on a dense 250 GSM cotton jersey. Ribbed crew neck, woven label. Unisex. Fit note: cut oversized on purpose. Take your usual size for the drop we designed; size down if you want it closer to the body. Exact measurements are in the size guide. Guilty of elegance.
