‘You’ve Got to Know the’ — Alexander McQueen Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.” These words hung as gallery text in “Savage Beauty,” the Met’s 2011 retrospective of Alexander McQueen, who apprenticed on Savile Row at sixteen before spending two decades slashing everything he had learned there. The order was the point: master the craft first, then earn the right to wreck it. Real innovation tends to come from someone who knows exactly what they are breaking, and why it held.

**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).
