‘Beauty is Whatever Anyone Thinks is Beautiful’ — Rei Kawakubo Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.” Rei Kawakubo said this to The New Yorker in 2005, in Judith Thurman’s profile “The Misfit” — by then her 1997 “lumps and bumps” collection, padding the body into strange new shapes, had already forced the question of whether clothes must flatter at all. Her answer was a flat refusal to police the definition: beauty belongs to whoever sees it. No single authority gets to rule what counts, and that opens the category to everyone.

**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).
