‘Works of Art Make Rules,’ — Claude Debussy Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Works of art make rules, but rules do not make works of art.” The idea runs all through Debussy’s turn-of-the-century music criticism — he reviewed under the alias “Monsieur Croche” around 1901 — though this tidy phrasing stays unpinned to any page, so take the wording as tradition and the conviction as documented. The order of operations is the point: the rulebook is reverse-engineered from the masterpieces, and the masterpiece comes first.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
