‘Colour Can Raise the Dead’ — Iris Apfel Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“Colour can raise the dead.” Iris Apfel says this on camera in the 2014 documentary Iris, waving off downtown’s all-black uniform from the vantage of her nineties. To her, a jolt of color was closer to medicine than decoration, a way of insisting on life in a gray room. Sometimes the most alive thing you can do is refuse to disappear into the beige, and wear the loud color instead.

**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).
