The popular Japanese fashion retailer, UNIQLO has been collaborating with various artists, brands and productions for their UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) collection in the past decade. In 2020, the brand announced a new collaboration with a young Grammy winner, Billie Eilish and a superflat artist, Takashi Murakami.
Two have teamed up in past as Murakami worked for Eilish’s music video “You Should See Me In A Crown” in 2019. You can check the music video here.
This time, two are linking up for UNIQLO, and this might be the most anticipating collaboration in fashion industry of the year. There is no doubt that getting the collab T-shirts will be a big competition as they could be sold out very quickly.
The Billie Eilish x Murakami UT collection will be released in late May 2020. The brands has launched a special site: Uniqlo x Takashi Murakami x Billie Eilish with an artistic teaser video of this collaboration. An anime style Billie statue wearing a t-shirt with her name printed with Takashi Murakami’s notable flower pattern. The video was also released on UNIQLO’s official Instagram and Twitter.
