Global apparel retailer Uniqlo will release the second Pokémon Meets Artists UT collection on March 21. The first collection debuted in August last year. UTs offer an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world that allow wearers to express their individuality. The collection will feature unique takes on Pokémon by Magma, an artist duo that has earned accolades for their distinctive scrap collages.
This artist duo of Jun Sugiyama and Kenichi Miyazawa uses a unique outlook to create works with waste materials, resin, and motor appliances. The duo expanded into furniture, products, and space direction. The duo is garnering considerable attention in Japan and abroad for nostalgic works that fuse analog elements and zany colors.
For this collection, the duo has used helmets, balls, binoculars, stationary, and other scrap materials with different textures to depict Pokémon, adding new appeal to the beloved Pokémon like Pikachu and Magikarp. Kids’ items take inspiration from the game screen for designs depicting Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, and other Pokémon, creating a charming collection that will delight people of all ages.
