UNIQLO continues to grow its collaborative work alongside KAWS and the Andy Warhol Foundation to unveil the KAWS + Warhol UT collection. The new range is packed with Japanese lifestyle fashion items that are adorned with pop art graphics. It celebrates both of the brands and the capsule series blends their work together across graphic tees, coach jackets, socks, long-sleeve tops, an art book, and tote bags.
A notable item in the capsule is the graphic tee that is detailed with the KAWS' BFF character sitting on top of the iconic Warhol banana. Another highlight in the capsule is the coach jacket with the same Warhol banana motif that is peeping out of the pocket with a visual of the Companion by the Wahol Moon Explorer Robot.
