A never-before-seen collaboration between two of the most popular artists of our time, available at UNIQLO stores worldwide from August 23

August 8, 2024, Kuala Lumpur – Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of a new UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) collection commemorating the KAWS + Warhol exhibition currently on view at The Andy Warhol Museum in the United States, which will also tour internationally. Items will be available at UNIQLO stores worldwide and via the uniqlo.com online store from Friday, August 23rd. 

UNIQLO presents a new unique collaboration between Andy Warhol (1928-1987), a seminal figure in 20th-century art, and KAWS, a leading artist in contemporary art. Combining iconography from both artist’s well-known bodies of work, the collection gives everyone an opportunity to feel close to their art. An art book for the KAWS + Warhol exhibition will also be available exclusively at UNIQLO stores and through uniqlo.com in advance of the publisher’s general release.

Capsule collection from sweats to jackets

The KAWS + Warhol UT Collection, available in full exclusively at UNIQLO*, was made in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which has for many years continued Warhol’s legacy by presenting art to the world through commercial products created with UNIQLO. The wide range of designs feature KAWS’s popular characters together with Warhol’s famous imagery. Along with T-shirts, the capsule collection includes sweatshirts, coach jackets, socks, tote bags, and a kids’ lineup. All customers, from adults to children, can enjoy the worlds of KAWS and Andy Warhol.
