A hum away from the lips of streetwear enthusiasts worldwide, Daniel Arsham has made well enough of a name combining his art with the hottest pop culture items around, most notably his collaboration with Dior, and now the artist sets upon his next venture to translate his quartz artwork into Pokemon character for UNIQLO.
The UT designs will feature Arsham’s drawings of quintessential Pokemon and its sculpture. Arsham had this to say,”With many of my projects, I try to make work that’s not just for art people and I think UNIQLO has a similar egalitarian culture. The reason I feature iconic characters in my work is that they are very recognizable, and, on the surface, they make it easy to enter my work. Pokémon has been a monumental presence ever since I was a child and I’m excited about the opportunity to present my work to a much wider audience.”
The collection offers seven design variations for men, women, and kids, applying the crystallized sketches of famous characters such as Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff.
Stay tuned to this article as we announce the release date closer to the estimated launch date in May.
