UNIQLO CO., LTD.
to Japanese page
Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the worldwide release of a new collection for the PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt project, featuring three new designs created with the internationally-renowned photographic cooperative Magnum Photos. The new collection features striking, joyful photos taken by Magnum photographers of international humanitarian projects that have been funded by customer donations through PEACE FOR ALL. The collection will be available from Friday, September 20.
The PEACE FOR ALL project, launched in June 2022, features T-shirts with designs expressing a wish for peace, provided voluntarily by collaborators with close ties to UNIQLO who share the goal of "taking action with a desire for world peace." All profits from sales of PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts are donated to three international humanitarian organizations (UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, Save the Children, and Plan International). To date, a total of 41 collaborators have created T-shirts, with more than four million shirts sold, raising more than 1.2 billion yen in donations.
For this latest collection, three members of Magnum Photos, the internationally-renowned photographic cooperative, traveled to Vietnam, Romania, and Ethiopia, to capture moments of PEACE FOR ALL-supported humanitarian activities from their own perspectives. These images powerfully illustrate the global impact of purchasing and wearing PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts, sharing where these activities are making a difference, and the people who are being supported.
Through this collection, created by combining UNIQLO's "power of clothing" with Magnum Photos' "power of photography," UNIQLO will continue to expand the PEACE FOR ALL initiative worldwide in a hope for world peace.
