‘What a Costume Designer Does’ — Edith Head Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not.” Edith Head defined her job this way in The Dress Doctor (1959), written from Paramount, where she engineered how half of Hollywood appeared and won eight Academy Awards turning actors into people quite unlike their offscreen selves. She was candid that the work was illusion, magic and camouflage both. We each run a small costume department now, and there is a strange relief in her honesty: dressing has always been a craft of becoming, and pretending otherwise fools no one.

**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).
