UNIQLO X KAWS
Kaws x uniqlo, art at the service of STREETWEAR
Kaws, an artist influential of street-culture
Kaws from his real name, Brian Donelly is a New York artist who is part of modern art and street-culture. Kaws is a designer, painter, a sculptor capable of adapting to any environment. He begins his learning in animation after having succeeded in the very famous School of Visual Arts in new York. Very quickly he went to graffiti in the streets of New York before rethinking advertisements by adding his universe to it. True figure of the underground current and the embezzlement of branding, he explodes in the eyes of the world with his creation which has been following him now, the character Companion. There is an easily recognizable figure with crosses in place of the eyes, resembling Disney style and being part of a creative approach similar to Takashi Murakami and its flowers. He quickly made a name for himself in the art world, we find his work in the greatest museums as in High Museum in Atlanta, Modern Art Museum by Fort Worth or exhibitions in the gallery Perrotin in Paris. But what makes him famous with the commuté sneaker And streetwear These are his collaborations and in particular one with Uniqlo.
Kaws X Uniqlo, an iconic collection
Kaws is not only a simple artist is above all a designer with a pronounced taste for the fashion. The artist of Brooklyn will revisit the classic men and woman wardrobe from the Japanese brand Uniqlo. Through several collaborations, he joined his universe with prints featuring his famous Companiment. We thus find a first series of t-shirts, crewnecks, hoodies and stuffed animals on the universe of Peanuts. A collaboration that will end up breaking up very quickly. Then he will rethink the cartoon for children Sesame Street With a magnificent box of stuffed animals and a series of colored t-shirts. But it is his pack of T-shirts released in 2019 that will matrix the community and literally make fans of the artist crazy. He offers us magnificent t-shirts affixed to his own freed creations from any universe. So we find the T-Shirt Kaws Pink Bff White, THE T-Shirt Kaws Flayed White or the T-Shirt Kaws Gone White. Sold out in a few minutes, these pieces are now considered to be collectibles. Kaws will subsequently continue his collaborations in the world of luxury under the request of Kim Jones, artistic director of men's collections Dior. He even became, in the space of a few years, the most influential artist in the streetwear and haute couture.

Kaws entered the Sneaker market by the big door by collaborating with Jordan Brand. In 2017, the two entities reveal aAir Jordan 4 entirely made up of a upper Gray suede on which we notice patterns Kaws Companion Inlaid in relief. In addition to this colorway iconic, there is an outsole Glow in the Dark revealing in the night an artwork of the graffiti artist Brooklyn.
