Timed to celebrate the publication of KAWS’ latest Phaidon monograph, the collection serves as both a celebration and a continuation of the artist’s long-running relationship with UNIQLO. Since their blockbuster 2019 collaboration caused sale sites to crash under traffic, anticipation for their reunion has been feverish.

With affordably priced garments and a hype-generating scale like no other, the KAWS x UNIQLO partnership successfully blends mass appeal with cult fandom.
