Each Design Limited to 500 Units Worldwide! Available in Japan at Gap Flagship Harajuku


A total of 11 collaboration T-shirt designs will be released. Seven of these feature a unique ultraviolet-sensitive ink (a pigment that reacts to sunlight) developed for『VISIONAIRE』issue 56, themed "SOLAR." The designs appear when exposed to sunlight. Other designs express the series' overall theme of "COLOR" through techniques such as embroidery, foil printing, screen printing, and all-over photo prints.

The T-shirts utilizing ultraviolet-sensitive ink showcase seven artists: Alex Katz, Yoko Ono, Richard Phillips, Ugo Rondinone, Peter Lindbergh, Francois Berthoud, and Roe Ethridge.

Additionally, three pieces feature photo prints of works by artists including Mario Sorrenti, Marc Quinn, and Tony Oursler. Yoko Ono's popular "Grow Love With Me" from the first collection also returns, redesigned with a white and gold foil combination.

Each design of these T-shirts is limited to 500 units worldwide and will be sold at major Gap Flagship stores in countries that have partnered with『VISIONAIRE』, as well as select『VISIONAIRE』retailers. In Japan, 50 units of each design will be available starting May 16th (Friday) at "Gap White Space" within the Gap Flagship Harajuku in Tokyo.

Gap White Space serves as a conceptual lab embodying Gap's spirit as a global brand, with its style updated to match various themes. It is a noteworthy spot.
