UNIQLO remembers the art of Pablo Picasso

Through an exclusive collection of T-shirts celebrating his genius.

The drop is divided into two key proposals: the graphic T-shirt series on the one hand, and the special edition of the PEACE FOR ALL charity project on the other. UNIQLO is thus extending its series of collaborations with renowned artists in the art world, which has already paid tribute to Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

One of the most outstanding designs is the one inspired by the work ‘The Flowers of Peace’ (1958), commissioned by the Swedish peace organisation as part of a peace demonstration in Stockholm. It is a T-shirt full of symbolism and colour with the aim of promoting the values of solidarity and social justice. And to reinforce this idea, all proceeds from the sale of the T-shirt will go to various international humanitarian organisations.

In the UT line we find four iterations that refer to some of Picasso‘s most iconic works, created between the 1920s and 1940s. This was a crucial period in the Malaga-born artist’s career, both for its formal exploration and for the deepening of its social and political message, a time when he devised his renowned ‘Dove of Peace’ (1949), an image charged with meaning that was not only chosen as the emblem of the First International Peace Conference in Paris that same year, but which to this day remains one of the most powerful symbols of contemporary art.
