UT WEB is an online store run by UNIQLO that only features T-shirts. Its collection is huge; you would really enjoy just browsing. New items are added weekly, most of which are collaborations with famous artists, cartoon characters and manufacturer logos.
Last week, they launched a collaboration with ZTT records. Who could ever thought of that?! As my Japanese blog is named as an homage to 808 State, I HAD to get their '90' album artwork.
I bought two; red for daily use, and grey, same as the original work, for keeps. Fortunately, my new work place is close to their only 'offline' store in Harajuku, so I don't have to wait for shipping.
The Harajuku store is uniquely designed; The concept of the store is "Futuristic T-shirt convenience store."
It's like a 21st century version of Stanly Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange." The displays are also uniquely done; each T-shirt is placed in a plastic bottle. Each bottle is transparent so that you can see the design of the T-shirt, but also has a lable to show variations within the same series. The shelf is like that of coffee beans or canned drinks; definitely looks like convenience stores.
So, if you are ever visiting Tokyo, pay a visit to UT store for a futuristic shopping experience.
