Promotion to be held at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building 2F from Wednesday, June 26th



Although Thomas Dozol is not yet actively working in Japan, he is a highly popular artist in the art world, holding solo exhibitions in New York and London. For this collaboration, ato has selected five images from his works, which are composed of monochrome, anonymous photographs and minimal geometric colors. These images have been laid out to highlight the appeal of each piece and incorporated into items that can be used daily.

Four types of T-shirts are printed on comfortable cotton material with a U-neck. Two types of pullover-style hooded sweatshirts made of cotton, and two types of simple tote bags made of cotton/linen ox material are also printed. Additionally, one type of bandana will be available exclusively at the Aoyama store.
