‘I Have to Inspire Them’ — Deborah Sussman Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Several people have told me over the years, ‘just give them what they want.’ I can’t bring myself to do it. I have to inspire them.” Deborah Sussman painted the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in magenta, cyan, and vermilion — a look she called “Festive Federalism” — using cardboard columns, tents, and scaffolding to turn a city with little budget for permanent building into a stage. Handed a tight brief and a small purse, she gave Los Angeles a party it still remembers.

**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).
