‘The Female Body Has Always’ — VALIE EXPORT Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“The female body has always been a construction.” VALIE EXPORT — who took her name in capital letters as a brand, discarding the surnames of father and husband — made this case around her 1983 film Syntagma, arguing that the female body is always culturally assembled, shaped even by the feminist art that means to free it. She spent her career exposing the assembly line: the body arrives to us already built by other hands, and the first act of freedom is seeing that.

**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).
