UNIQLO's graphic T-shirt brand, UT, will begin selling the collaboration between Billie Eilish and Takashi Murakami, "Billie Eilish x Takashi Murakami," on its online store from May 25th, and in Uniqlo stores nationwide from June 5th. The key visual features a branding logo that combines Billie Eilish's "Blohsh" symbol with Takashi Murakami's iconic flower.
Billie Eilish, who became the youngest winner in history at this year's Grammy Awards at just 18 years old, has become a social phenomenon worldwide. After messaging each other on Instagram, their friendship blossomed and led to them collaborating on the music video for "You Should See Me in a Crown." The full-length animated video, which brings Billie Eilish's ideas to life with Takashi Murakami's unique sensibility, has garnered an astounding 69 million views on video streaming sites. This time, UT will showcase this rare collaboration between these two globally popular artists.
