‘I Identified Very Much with’ — Rei Kawakubo Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“I identified very much with punk, not only in the fashion sector, but in every other sector. The very nature of doing something new and free meant something that was against authority.” With her March 2016 collection “18th-Century Punk” — seventeen sculptural looks splicing rococo brocade with safety-pin logic — Rei Kawakubo located punk somewhere other than leather and studs. Punk, for her, lived in the act itself: doing something new and free, and therefore against authority. The costume can be bought in any mall; the method, the will to defy the sanctioned way, is the part that stays genuinely punk.

**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).
