UNIQLO recently surprised fans by announcing that its trendsetting UT line would collaborate with the new popular character IP ZO&FRIENDS. The character has quite the backstory: it is a creative project developed by G-DRAGON and the well-known character brand LINE FRIENDS, based on ZOA, the celebrity cat he adores in private. It’s hard to imagine that GD, so commanding onstage, would turn his offstage identity as a cat lover into such cute clothing designs. Fans simply can’t resist the contrast.

Graffiti and illustrations inspired by celebrity cat ZOA

The four newly released designs are carefully considered in their use of color, shedding the idea that cartoon collaboration apparel has to look overly childish. The four shades are classic white, misty gray, charcoal black, and bright blue, which is especially flattering for brightening the complexion in summer. Details range from illustrations of a cat with a large daisy on its head and a slightly lazy, world-weary expression to hand-drawn graffiti in a range of street-inspired colors featuring names such as “AKI” and “ZAKI.” Together, they perfectly reflect G-DRAGON’s signature aesthetic, and simply pairing one with jeans creates a stylish streetwear look.

G-DRAGON style at an affordable price

Luxury-brand collaborations can often feel out of reach, but this UNIQLO UT release brings trend-forward style closer to everyday life. Each T-shirt is priced at NT$ 490, so for less than NT$ 500, you can wear a G-DRAGON universe design. It’s undoubtedly a great-value summer wardrobe investment.

The full UNIQLO x ZO&FRIENDS collection is scheduled to launch on June 29 at official stores and online. VIPs, get ready!
