Japanese artist Kosuke Kawamura works in collaboration with fashion label NEIGHBORHOOD on a collection of graphic tees for the season. The collection is made up of four designs in total that is rooted in a monochromatic palette of tees. The artist's original collage artwork details the apparel and features visuals of pin-up models, flowers, as well as skulls.
The base foundation of the tees include the options of white and gray for a minimal look that spotlight the artwork. Much of Kawamura's work features pop culture references that are drawn from modern television shows, news clippings, and mass media production. He shreds the visuals to deliver some cut-up shapes and complex layering to challenge new perspectives.
