Coinciding with a Studio Ghibli exhibition occurring in Bangkok, Thailand, UNIQLO Singapore is releasing its first Studio Ghibli UT collection, titled #My style, My ghibli. The collection will land on store shelves, or, well, hangers, this Friday, 18th February.
The collection totals 12 different designs for both children and adults, each getting 6 designs priced at S$24.90 and S$19.90 respectively, with visuals based on the movie My Neighbour Totoro. In addition to that, one of the designs also features a photo of the movie's fantastical Catbus by Thai photographer Kanyada, whose "From Pak Thong Chai" series of photos and poems is serialised monthly on Neppu, published by Studio Ghibli.

If none of the designs catches your eye, or if you're clamouring for something a little bit more personal, UNIQLO's UTme! service, which lets you customise a shirt with pre-designed visuals from the brand's collections, now has designs from #My style, My ghibli for you to pick and choose from:

The UTme! designs incorporate various stamps from the exhibition in Thailand, along with photographs from Kanyada and illustrations from the grandson of Toshio Suzuki, a long-time Studio Ghibli producer. If you're curious, the exhibition in Thailand, dubbed #My style, My ghibli, Let's lose our way, together, is a collaboration between UNIQLO and Studio Ghibli featuring photos from Kanyada, as well as iconic lines and quotes from Ghibli films written as calligraphy by Suzuki himself.
And though the launch of this collection is still a few days away, if you're excited about it, you can head over to the collection's page on UNIQLO's website here to preview some of the designs, as well as watch an video with Suzuki discussing and introducing the collection.
