Kaws UT Graphic Tee "Red"

Kaws UT Graphic Tee "Red"
The KAWS UT Graphic Tee in Red brings instant gallery-level energy to your everyday rotation. Rendered in a bold, saturated crimson that recalls the iconic red square of the Uniqlo logo itself, this tee is a vibrant canvas for the unmistakable visual language of KAWS. It’s a piece that merges the democratic accessibility of Uniqlo’s UT line with the collectible cool of one of contemporary art’s most recognised names. At the heart of the design is a large-scale screen-printed graphic that stretches across the chest, immediately drawing the eye. A deconstructed, cartoon-soft silhouette of KAWS’ signature Companion character takes centre stage, its gloved hands wrapping around itself in a gesture that feels both playful and introspective—the artist’s recurring motif of the “Hug.” Rendered in a crisp, high-contrast off-white and soft grey palette, the figure pops against the fiery red cotton. The Companion’s face is turned slightly downward, its exaggerated mitts and rounded limbs outlined with that precise, comic-book linework that has become KAWS’ global signature. Across the eyes, the legendary “XX” marks are stamped in deep black, a symbol instantly understood by those in the know. The back of the tee is kept intentionally clean, save for a small, woven UT x KAWS sponsor tag riding just above the hem—a subtle detail that nods to the collaboration’s art-world-meets-streetwear pedigree. The neckline is finished with a robust, ribbed crew band that holds its shape wear after wear, and the short sleeves are cut with a relaxed, modern drape that avoids feeling boxy. This isn’t a slim-fit gallery hoodie; it’s a true, versatile tee built for all-day comfort, made from a substantial 100% cotton jersey that feels smooth against the skin and has a breathable, mid-weight hand. The red dye is deep enough to remain vibrant without fading
