[OK × HARUOMI HOSONO 55th Anniversary] This is a collaboration celebrating Haruomi Hosono's 55th anniversary. Inspired by Mr. Hosono's well-known love for smoking, the design features a graphic that resembles a vintage tobacco package, as if it has been stored away in a drawer for years, giving it a faded, nostalgic feel.
To reflect the tropical motifs from his works, such as in "Tropical Dandy," "Bon Voyage Co.," "Cochin Moon," and "Paraiso," two palm trees have been incorporated into the design. Additionally, the depiction of Mr. Hosono during the era of his debut album "Hosono House" includes a Hawaiian shirt that matches the palm trees, which is featured in a portrait of him taken by Mike Nogami in 1973.
The iconic graphic is printed on a long-sleeve T-shirt. This design not only captures the essence of Haruomi Hosono's artistic journey but also adds a nostalgic touch to the item.
