“I’m pleased to be exclusively launching my new Phaidon Contemporary Artist Series book with my longtime partner UNIQLO,” said Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS. 

“To celebrate the occasion, I designed a small capsule collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts that will be available for a limited time. I hope you enjoy the collection!”

For the past two decades, he has built a successful career with art pieces that show his agility, underlying wit, irreverence, and affection for our times.
