‘I See Myself as Somebody’ — Dries Van Noten Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“I see myself as somebody who creates words, but the customer has to make the sentences with it. It’s really your personality which creates the look, not my vision. I can give ideas, and it’s up to you to pick them up if you want.” Dries Van Noten, one of the Antwerp Six who broke out in the 1980s, built his house on printed “building blocks” — mixable pieces rather than a dictated head-to-toe look. He hands the wearer words and lets her write the sentence herself. The most generous kind of making leaves the last, decisive move to the person who takes it home.

**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).
