Kaws: Summer UT Giveaway

Overview

The new collaboration tees from Japanese retailer Uniqlo and acclaimed American artist Kaws are so coveted that the collection sold out within minutes of its global launch. They also caused some raucous in China, where many (very keen) fans were hoping to get their mitts on the hot-property threads.

Now, it's Melbourne's turn, as Uniqlo gets ready to drop Kaws: Summer online and in-store (nationally) on Friday, September 20. The 21-piece collection features t-shirts and totes with Kaws' instantly recognisable characters — and local fans have a chance to get their hands on one of the tees for free, thanks to a pre-launch giveaway.

If you fancy adding one of the highly coveted t-shirts to your wardrobe for zero dollars, you'll need to keep an eyeball on Uniqlo's Aussie Instagram Stories to find out where in Melbourne's CBD the giveaway will be going down on Thursday, September 19.

The address will be revealed at 7.30am that day, with doors opening from 8am. Only the first 100 punters through them will score a free collaboration t-shirt, though — so don't dilly-dally. DJs will help fuel your morning's shopping adventures, as will a stack of free coffee and doughnuts.

The clothing line's Aussie launch coincides with the opening of Kaws: Companionship in the Age of Loneliness at the National Gallery of Victoria on Friday, September 20.
