Let There Be Shade – The Emily Legacy
First introduced in the 1990s by Rob Reger, Emily the Strange quickly became a pop culture icon—an emo, anti-Barbie figure for a generation of kids who didn’t fit in. As detailed on EmilyStrange.com, Emily is “13 years old forever,” speaks in riddles, and lives in a world of cats, sarcasm, and shadow.
The “Let There Be Shade” slogan is a play on “Let there be light”—Emily’s response to toxic positivity and the overly cheerful world she subverts. Wearing this tee says, “I don’t do fake sunshine,” and proudly aligns you with the strange, the smart, and the silent rebels.
If you miss the old-school emo/goth/indie era or just need a tee that speaks fluent sarcasm, this is the one. It pairs effortlessly with fishnets, boots, cardigans, or hoodies. Explore our hoodie collection if you want to build a full Emily-inspired look.
