UNIQLO 'Chainsaw Man x Kosuke Kawamura UT' Collection Now Available
Original designs exclusively for UT that merge the world of Crunchyroll. This special collection, a collaboration with collage artist Kosuke Kawamura, dynamically and elaborately reconstructs the world of the anime.
A limited collection with a fresh take on the Chainsaw Man world
This UT collection of all-original designs brings together Chainsaw Man, a mighty hero who becomes a chainsaw as he takes on enemies, with Kawamura's “cut and rebuild" style. The lineup of men's T-shirts is comprised of nine styles. For the graphic designs, Kawamura takes the original anime drawings and scenes, and gives them a new expression using his distinctive shredded art and collage style. In addition, both the short and long sleeve T-shirts have a street fashion style oversized silhouette tly developed by Kawamura and UNIQLO. The striking art shines through, while a focus on ease of wearing completes this formidable collection.
Kosuke Kawamura said: “I used a lot of the original anime art and scenes for this collection. Since the drawings are very detailed, it was easy to expand the range of ideas as design material, and I was able to try various collage styles and methods. Even in the rough original drawings, the pictures themselves are well finished, and I felt that they could be used as-is for T-shirt designs. My aim was to create designs that long-time fans of Chainsaw Man could enjoy as something a little different, and that people unfamiliar with the anime would want to wear as well.
