Artist-Inspired Casual Tees

Uniqlo Debuts Another Drop of Its Creativity-Forward SPRZN NY Project

Japanese streetwear retailer Uniqlo launches another set of artist-inspired casual tees. The bold graphic apparel is part of the label's "fashion-meets-art SPRZN NY project." The new releases pay tribute to the talents of world-renowned creatives like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Andy Warhol.

As Uniqlo is very much extended into the active manufacturing of contemporary casual tees, it really comes as no surprise that the latest SPRZN NY offerings have a distinct edge. The new collection is characterized by "a few more embroidered tees" than previous releases. In particular, the Japanese retailer's 'The Notebook' line will surely delight Basquiat fans. The casual tees reinterpret the artist's genius through stitched designs and the authenticity of the graphics is preserved as Uniqlo directly referenced Basquiat's personal notebooks.
