This wearable art collaboration connects French illustrator Agathe Marty with Novi, a 9-year-old student from Indonesia who drew her family when asked what makes her feel at home. In her drawing, smiling figures, beautiful clothes, and a gentle sun tell a story of love and togetherness. Agathe, known for her soft lines and joyful color palettes, was deeply moved by Novi’s vision of home. She reimagined the family portrait into a playful, flowing design that celebrates connection — proving that wherever there’s love, there’s home.

Why Ben Courtice wanted to design a Face This T-shirt
"It sounded fun! I loved the idea of working together with some future art stars and lending a hand to help out at the same time. I'm a big advocate of art being used as a means of growth and helping others."

How Ben Courtice designed his Face This T-shirt
"I tried to picture what I would see looking out the same window, back when I was younger and staring at the sky and the nature around me, letting my imagination run wild about what the whole big world has in store for me. I also wanted the world out there to feel friendly and approachable."
