-- Phaedra Peer is the queen of flipping things on their head. Her desire to challenge the notion of negative affirmations, and her fun play on everyday sentiments, means we get full access to understanding exactly what it means to be a Creep.
Phaedra Peer, an artist and the designer of Creep Like Me says ‘We all need a sprinkle of dysfunctionality to make our lives exciting! We can’t all be the same. Sometimes we just want to stick our middle finger up to the world, so why not explore this... It’s not about being negative or sad, but it's actually the opposite. It is about making statements that will kick start conversations… I hate being polite all the time, we mince our words too much, we are all so keen on making things sound ‘pretty’. Creep Like Me is like our inner person being allowed out with no shackles! We can all be Creeps if we want to’.
The clothing brand has been running for around 2 years now and has gone from strength to strength. ‘I didn’t want to just make tees’ says Phaedra ‘ I wanted to give my art a pulse’ Phaedra first discovered art in her early years and along with Creep Like Me creates exciting prints and paintings. ‘Art is my Language, it’s the only thing I truly feel like I am good at’.
The fun nature of the Creep Like Me brand means that everyone has access to it. It is relatable, it is free spirited, it’s witty and it's so 2019. ‘I just want to do away with the idea that men are the only ones that can be a bit ‘rough around the edges, we as women can be like that too!’. Phaedra’s collection provides loads of unisex options, along with designs that are tailored to the sexes. There are so many fun designs, there are tees that say things like ‘Sleep Like No One Wants You ‘, ‘ If You’re Going To Be A F**kboy at least be good at F**king’ Phaedra is using art and merging it with a strange form of activism something known as Artivism! It is subtle, cheeky, witty but it works, the pieces are eye catching, fun and so relatable.
As Christmas is around the corner Phaedra has produced a range of epic designs to relate the fun nature of the season. The range includes designs that say ‘Bite Me’, ‘Sweet But Twisted’ & ‘Dear Santa, Define Naughty’. This collection successfully encapsulates what the Creep Like Me brand is all about - having fun with boundaries!
This range will be live on the website from 22/11/19 via the Creep Like Me Online Store and each jumper retails at £60.00.
We often see empowerment as something that is ‘flowery’ and nice, but when you look at the word ‘empowerment’ it means more than that. It is about how you feel, it is about acknowledging the real you - the good, the bad, the ugly, and sometimes we like our ugly, sometimes we find the humour in it! Empowerment is about having the strength and the power to own who you are! As you are!
So if today someone wants to wear a jumper that says ‘ Started From The Bottom, Now We Are A Little Bit Above The Bottom’ it should be recognised as an empowering truth. It is allowing us to give volume to where we are at as a society. We don’t always have out s**t together but we keep on going. This is why people like Phaedra are important. They remind us that we are not alone. It’s like scrolling through a profile full of memes and having that feeling of sheer amazement when someone personifies a sentiment you thought was unique to you. Phaedra brings our lives to life and lets us wear our truth.
Creep Like Me, Creep Like You. At the end of the day as she said ‘who wants to be normal anyway’.
