0

From manga heroes and beloved childhood characters to iconic artworks and cultural collaborations, UNIQLO is inviting Singaporeans to step into a world where fashion meets creativity at its upcoming UT Graphic T-Universe Pop-Up. Running from 12 to 21 June 2026 at Orchard Central’s Level 1 Atrium, the immersive experience celebrates the global appeal of UT, UNIQLO’s graphic T-shirt label that has transformed everyday apparel into wearable expressions of art, culture and individuality.

For more than two decades, UT — short for UNIQLO T-shirt — has collaborated with artists, museums, manga publishers, musicians, brands and pop culture icons from around the world. What began as a graphic T-shirt collection has evolved into a cultural platform that allows fans to wear the stories, characters and artistic movements they love.

Now, visitors can experience that universe firsthand through a specially curated pop-up that showcases some of UT’s most celebrated collections alongside interactive activities, exclusive collectibles and limited-time rewards.

One of the highlights of the event is the diverse range of collections on display, spanning art, manga and character collaborations.

Art enthusiasts can explore the NY POP ART UT collection, which features works inspired by influential artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Fans of traditional Japanese art will also appreciate the Ukiyo-e Blue UT collection, which reimagines masterpieces by legendary artists Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige for contemporary wardrobes.

Meanwhile, manga lovers can immerse themselves in the Manga UT SHUEISHA 100th Anniversary collection, a tribute to a century of Japanese manga culture. The collection blends beloved classics with modern favourites and will be joined by six new designs inspired by globally popular titles including ONE PIECE, NARUTO and COJI-COJI from 22 June.

The pop-up will also introduce UNIQLO’s first collaboration with Monchhichi, the adorable monkey character that has captured hearts across generations. The collection features four women’s styles and four kids’ designs, bringing a dose of nostalgia and charm to everyday dressing.

Disney fans have reason to celebrate too. From 12 June, visitors can discover 10 new Disney Singapore UTme! stickers and embroidery options for customised creations. The event will also offer a first look at the upcoming Disney Run race pack.

Beyond shopping, the UT Graphic T-Universe Pop-Up offers visitors a chance to walk away with exclusive collectibles. Customers purchasing Monchhichi UT T-shirts can redeem limited-edition stickers, while those buying multiple pieces can participate in a lucky spin for a chance to win exclusive Monchhichi Mini T collectibles. Other rewards include UT tote bags, sticker packs, customisable clicker key charms and exclusive MANGA 100 paper bags available with qualifying purchases.

Adding a meaningful dimension to the event is UNIQLO’s PEACE FOR ALL initiative. Launched in 2022, the global project brings together notable creators and personalities who contribute T-shirt designs expressing hopes for peace. From 19 June, five new designs by actor Ke Huy Quan, filmmaker Sofia Coppola, the Displacement Film Fund, Miffy creator Dick Bruna and PEANUTS will join the collection, reinforcing the idea that even a simple T-shirt can carry a powerful message.

Whether you’re a devoted anime fan, an art enthusiast, a Disney lover or simply someone looking for a fresh way to express your personality, the UT Graphic T-Universe Pop-Up promises something for everyone. More than just a retail event, it is a celebration of the stories, characters and creative voices that connect people across cultures — all brought together through the simple canvas of a T-shirt.

The UNIQLO UT Graphic T-Universe Pop-Up takes place from 12 to 21 June 2026 at Orchard Central Level 1 Atrium, outside the UNIQLO Orchard Central Global Flagship Store. Admission is free.
