This morning, Uniqlo launched the Billie Eilish by Takashi Murakami collection that collectively draws all three talents together in the form of graphic tees. The UT capsule features a plethora of bright graphic tees as well as hats that are made in the sizes for men, women, and kids.
The triple collaboration was born on social media when the artist and musician joined forces on a music video. The collection spotlights the perspectives of both creative talents through bold prints and color palettes. There is the iconic flower emblem and references to Billie as well. The designs feature drawings by Billie Eilish and logos that are made to capture her energy. The apparel is now available globally on Uniqlo.
