Japanese label BEAUTY & YOUTH tapped into the talents of Japanese illustrator Hideto Suzuki to collaborate on a collection of garments. Suzuki's Eizin print is the artwork that decorates all the pieces and his work is inspired by the 'Green Hill Zone' from Sonic the Hedgehog. With a lot of success in both areas of commercial and gallery as an artist, Suzuki is praised highly for his use of color and spotlight on nature, as he often focuses on American vacation scenery.
In the artwork-bearing collection by BEAUTY & YOUTH and Hideto Suzuki, two t-shirts, two button-up shirts and a long-sleeve shirt are included. The collaborative capsule will be available at the BEAUTY & YOUTH location in Shibuya, Japan between March 24th to April 6th.
