United under its slogan “simple made better,” the Japanese clothing company Uniqlo is dedicated to creating “lifewear.” Uniqlo’s 2018 Brands Masterpiece Collection epitomizes the company’s desire to build exceptional fit and fabric into the apparel that you wear everyday. Featuring a range of classic iconographic tee shirts for spring and summer, Brands Masterpiece calls to mind a range of legendary products that have been widely loved for decades.
The sleek images on each Brands Masterpiece tee incorporate images that borrow from the official company logos and product design elements of leading brands such as Ducati, Bic, Kenwood, Volkswagen, and Kikkoman. Standout designs include two fun Rubik’s Cube motifs and a large Victorinox Swiss Army pocket knife with all blades and tools exposed.
The Uniqlo Brands Masterpiece Collection also heavily features prominent music industry brands such as Jackson Kelly electric guitars and Avedis Zildjian drum cymbals. Its tributes to Roland’s synthesizers and drum machines draw heavily upon the colorful buttons and displays that grace products such as the Roland Computer Controlled TR-808 Rhythm Composer.
