‘Who Could Imagine a Poet’ — Ann Demeulemeester Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“Who could imagine a poet wearing anything other than black?” Ann Demeulemeester’s verified line, from a 2008 Dazed interview, was “black to me is the colour of the poets”; the phrasing here is the folk edit that followed. Either way, the Antwerp Six designer meant black as literary equipment rather than absence — the color of interiority, of someone with more going on inside than they advertise. Worn on purpose, for the poetry of it, black becomes a statement instead of a safe default.

**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).
