New York Times Opinion
"I consider the white T-shirt to be a star maker," writes Ellen Mirojnick, the costume designer for “Oppenheimer” and “Bridgerton, in an @nytopinion essay. "Whether it’s on Marlon Brando or James Dean, Glenn Close or Glen Powell, we’ve seen how a white T-shirt at just the right moment can burn its way into an audience’s memory." Unlike many of the looks at #NYFW, the white T-shirt has none of the makings of upscale fashion. But somehow, throughout modern history, it has remained an enduring sartorial icon. Its power is that its blank canvas allows it to constantly change meaning. So the next time you throw on a plain white T, ask yourself, what power do you want it to project? #nytopinion
