A striking graphic T-shirt from kolor featuring TOWA TEI, marked “TOWA TEI with kolor Limited Edition 2020 S/S.”
The black cotton body features a large monochrome portrait of TOWA TEI surrounded by an eye-catching radial graphic. The mirrored portrait composition gives the shirt a strong visual identity, while the central typography clearly highlights the special collaboration and the 2020 Spring/Summer season.
Despite its bold artwork, the simple black-and-white color palette makes the shirt surprisingly versatile. It has the impact of an art or music T-shirt while maintaining the sophisticated fashion character associated with kolor.
kolor is one of Japan’s highly regarded designer labels, founded by designer Junichi Abe. The brand is known for its distinctive approach to proportions, materials, construction, and unexpected combinations of familiar clothing elements. This piece translates that creative sensibility into a graphic T-shirt connected directly to music culture.
TOWA TEI is a musician, DJ, and producer with a long career spanning both Japanese and international music scenes. Bringing his unmistakable visual presence together with kolor makes this an especially appealing piece for collectors of Japanese designer fashion as well as fans of electronic music and contemporary culture.
Tagged size 3, the shirt has a generously proportioned silhouette with approximately 53cm shoulders and 59cm chest width. The 73cm length keeps the overall proportions balanced, allowing the shoulders to fall naturally for a relaxed modern fit.
Made from 100% cotton, it works perfectly as a standalone statement piece during warmer seasons. It can also be layered under an open shirt, jacket, or coat, allowing the distinctive central artwork to remain visible.
For styling, pair it with wide black trousers or relaxed denim for a clean monochrome look. Chunky sneakers create a contemporary street-oriented outfit, while leather shoes and tailored wide trousers push it toward a more refined designer aesthetic. Washed denim or military pants can also give it a casual vintage-inspired edge.
With its TOWA TEI artwork, Limited Edition 2020 S/S lettering, distinctive graphic composition, and unmistakable kolor identity, this is a particularly memorable piece where Japanese fashion, graphic design, and music culture meet.
