Philip was born on the coast of Picardy, near Étretat. Although he was born without his larger antennae, his family helped him overcome that small handicap by teaching him how to use his claws in a delicate manner. Philip achieved such great skill that the whole town called on him when they needed something done, but Philip found he liked cutting fabric the most. One day he decided it was time to share his art with the world, and with all his happiness in tow, he put on his most beloved creation, his striped shirt inspired by the coast, and got on a train to Paris. He began selling his shirts to his neighbors and acquaintances and soon, everyone was wearing his blue-striped shirts. And that’s how Philip became the most famous tailor of all time, the creator of the “marinière”.
