UNIQLO announces its first-ever Pablo Picasso T-shirt collection

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the worldwide release date for new T-shirts featuring designs by artist Pablo Picasso, who revolutionized the art world of the 20th century. The new collection, available from Friday, March 14th, 2025, will include one design for UNIQLO’s PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt project, and four designs for its “UT” graphic T-shirt brand.

The new T-shirts will be UNIQLO’s first-ever to feature artwork by Picasso, and represent the latest in the brand’s collections with globally-renowned artists. This rare collaboration was made possible through the cooperation of the Estate of Pablo Picasso, who support UNIQLO’s long-standing vision of contributing to society to make the world a better place.

The artwork featured on the collection’s PEACE FOR ALL T-shirt (left) is Bouquet of Friendship, (1958), created for the peace demonstration held in Stockholm in 1958. All profits from the sales of PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts are donated to international humanitarian organizations.

The UT collection will feature four works painted by Picasso in the 1920s to 1940s, a period when he was at his most diverse and creative. Among the artworks featured is Dove of Peace (1949), depicting a white dove as a symbol of peace, which was chosen as the emblem for the First International Peace Conference in Paris in 1949. With these new PEACE FOR ALL and UT T-shirts, Picasso’s lifelong support for the message of world peace is conveyed through works that transcend the conventions of art, and continue to capture the hearts and minds of many today.

About PEACE FOR ALL

The PEACE FOR ALL project, launched in June 2022, features graphic T-shirts with designs expressing a wish for peace, which are provided voluntarily by contributors with close ties to UNIQLO who support the aim of “taking action with a desire for world peace.” All profits from sales of PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts are donated to international humanitarian organizations. To date, a total of 42 contributors have provided T-shirt designs, with more than 6.28 million shirts sold, raising more than JPY 1,883 billion in donations. The funds raised are provided to three partner organizations to support emergency humanitarian assistance, to protect the lives of displaced people around the world, and to aid children who are facing difficult circumstances due to conflicts or other issues.

Pablo Picasso / Artist

Painter, sculptor, and printmaker born in Málaga, Spain. In 1900 at age nineteen, Pablo Picasso made his first visit to Paris, where he was based from 1904 through the 1940s. Paris is also where he spent his formative “Blue Period” and “Rose Period” and became known as a founder of the Cubist movement which fundamentally revamped the way that objects are perceived. His endless search for new modes of expression led him beyond the world of painting into the realms of sculpture, ceramics, literature and music, leaving a deep impression across the whole of modern art.
