CLOT x OriginalFake KAWS “DOWN TIME” T-shirt
As long time associates, Brian Donnelly or more commonly known as KAWS, has been a long-time friend and associate of CLOT founders Kevin Poon and Edison Chen. The result of this fruitful relationship has provided the Chinese market with a consistent glimpse of one of the most respected and relevant artists of the last decade. For an upcoming book signing at JUICE Hong Kong for Donnelly’s KAWS: DOWN TIME book, a special collaborative T-shirt has been created. Four colorways will be sold as exclusives to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei and JUICE’s online store. The Hong Kong book set is available now for pre-order at JUICE CWB and TST for 0 HKD (approximately 6 USD).

OriginalFake KAWS Companion “Passing Through” Black & Grey
Following appearances at the likes of The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, The Standard New York, Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station, and more, KAWS’ “Passing Through” Companion finally made its debut in an obtainable, miniaturized form last month. Now, the artist and OriginalFake are due to present greyscale and black versions of the somber figure as an addition to last month’s release of a “brown” edition. While the grey iteration echoes the look of its full-size counterpart, the black piece comes in a completely murdered-out color scheme. Both designs were recently made available alongside matching tees and keychains at OriginalFake’s Tokyo storefront and could be available soon via KAWS’ own web shop.
