‘The Poetry of Fashion Lies’ — Coco Chanel Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“The poetry of fashion lies in the creation of illusion.” The line may owe more to a Chanel biopic than to Chanel, but the illusion-making was real: she wore costume jewelry like the genuine article and cut a 1926 little black dress that made plainness read as wealth. She understood dressing as a kind of stagecraft. There is an honesty in that artifice — the frank admission that how we appear is something we compose.

**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).
