Putting the works of world-class artists and up-and-coming artists on T-shirts. It seems simple enough, but it is a way of continuing to promote sales from a broader perspective.UNIQLO〉And that's why we can do it.
The graphic T-shirt brand "UT" attracts attention with each release, reminding us of the possibilities of expression.
Now, in 2021, our first UT is Jason Pollan, with whom we have had three happy collections, starting with our collaboration in 2016, and this time we give our love and respect to Mr. Pollan, who sadly passed away last January.
The project was based on his 2008 project "Every Person in New York," in which he stood on a New York street corner and drew all the people in New York with a pen and a notepad. In addition to these drawings, we incorporated the text that shows the scenes that Mr. Pollan cut out into the design.
Visitors can also see drawings made in Tokyo and iconic artworks such as giraffes, hamburgers, and tigers, all of which Mr. Pollan loved.
The items incorporating these items range from T-shirts and sweatshirts to merchandise. Please see the lineup below.
The soft lines and touch naturally relax my shoulders. Although there are few elements, the impression changes every time you look at it. You can see Mr. Pollan's charm again. And for those who love Mr. Pollan, we recommend the following special items.
The World's Biggest Drawing Club," a campaign to share the joy of artwork with people around the world in honor of the "drawing clubs" he started to promote art.

He has incorporated the stateless people walking around New York, the atmosphere of New York, and the loveliness of living things into his work. The subtlety of Jason Pollan's work, which cannot be seen in reality and can only be felt through his expression, is sure to resonate not only with children, but with adults as well.
