UNIQLO has just unveiled its latest collaboration, the KAWS + Warhol UT collection, along with an accompanying art book. This exciting new release combines the iconic motifs of Andy Warhol’s legendary artworks with the instantly recognizable characters of KAWS, creating a collection that celebrates the distinct styles of both artists while bringing them together in a fresh and innovative way. The collection’s release coincides with the KAWS + Warhol exhibition currently on display at the Andy Warhol Museum.
The collection is extensive and offers a wide range of items including t-shirts, sweatshirts, track jackets, socks, tote bags and even kidswear. The graphics showcase a seamless blend of the work of KAWS and Warhol. For example, one design features a KAWS figure holding Warhol’s iconic banana, while another shows KAWS figure next to one of Warhol’s robot sketches. Fans of both artists will appreciate how the collection allows their different styles to coexist harmoniously and make each one stand out.
In addition to the clothing, UNIQLO is releasing a KAWS + Warhol art book, a perfect complement to the exhibition. Published by Monacelli, the book presents the duo’s work side-by-side, offering readers the opportunity to explore and compare the two artists’ styles in more depth. The book also includes an interview with KAWS, offering insight into the creative process behind the collaboration. As a special bonus, those who purchase the book from UNIQLO will receive an exclusive tote bag featuring artwork from the collection.
KAWS expressed his enthusiasm for the project in a statement: “I am delighted to release the KAWS + Warhol exhibition catalogue exclusively with my long-time partner UNIQLO. I am honored to have the opportunity to show my work alongside Andy Warhol, a visionary whose art continues to inspire generations.” He added: “To celebrate this occasion, UNIQLO is releasing a capsule collection that brings our work together and reflects the way the exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum displays our work side by side.”
