“The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am.” Rei Kawakubo built Comme des Garçons on clothes that baffled critics before they won them over, and she said this in 2012, naming fear as her instrument. If a new thing settles you, to her mind, it is probably a familiar thing in disguise; only the genuinely new has the power to unsettle. She measured originality by exactly the discomfort most makers work to avoid.
**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).
