‘There is a Small World’ — Marc Jacobs Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“There is a small world of people who are very interested in contemporary art and a slightly bigger world of people who look at contemporary art. But then there is a much larger world that doesn’t realise how influential art is on things that they actually look at.” Marc Jacobs dragged fine art onto luxury goods — Stephen Sprouse’s graffiti across Louis Vuitton in 2001, Takashi Murakami’s cartoon monogram in 2003 — and argued in 2013 that art quietly shapes what everyone looks at, seen or unseen. Few people ever trace the pattern on a handbag back to a painter. The taste of a whole culture is set, largely invisibly, by a handful of artists whose names most of us have lost.

**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).
