UNIQLO Releases Five New Designs for PEACE FOR ALL Charity T-Shirt Project

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the global release of five new T-shirts for the ongoing PEACE FOR ALL charity project. The latest collection features new graphics designed especially for this project by collaborators including tennis legend Roger Federer, as well as artwork from Miffy creator, the late Dick Bruna.

Since the launch of the project in June 2022, a total of more than 1 million PEACE FOR ALL T-shirts have been sold worldwide. 100% of the profits from the sale of these T-shirts are donated to international aid organisations that assist people impacted by poverty, discrimination, violence, and conflict around the world, including UNHCR (the UN refugee agency), Save the Children, and Plan International. So far, close to RM10 million have been donated as part of the project.

Activities supported by PEACE FOR ALL donations include the self-reliance projects for Rohingya women refugees in Bangladesh, educational support for displaced Syrian children and vulnerable Lebanese children in North Lebanon, and a campaign to eliminate child early and forced marriage in Vietnam.

New PEACE FOR ALL Collection Collaborators

Roger Federer (Professional Tennis Player)

For over 25 years, I considered myself very fortunate to explore the world while competing in a sport I love. Tennis and peace both start with "Love" and I hope this simple design also can remind everyone how important it is to respect each other.

Dick Bruna (Picture Book Author, Graphic Designer)

Dick Bruna has always cherished and supported the idea that the more the slogan "WORLD PEACE IS POSSIBLE" takes hold worldwide and the more people are convinced of that possibility, the more realistic the goal of achieving world peace will become. Here, we empathize with the PEACE FOR ALL project, which involves taking action fuelled by a desire for peace, and we, together with Miffy, sincerely hope all people on this earth will be able to enjoy peaceful living.

Cristina de Middel (Magnum Photos' President)

I use symbolism in my work a lot and wanted to create an image that meant "right to peace" and what fighting for peace carries. Both the fist and the pigeon are symbols for each one of these concepts, so I tried to put them together. The picture could have been shot anywhere in the city of Salvador de Bahia, which always has these beautiful clouds.

Jean-Michel Basquiat (Artist) ＋Christopher Makos (Photographer)

Jean-Michel Basquiat and Christopher Makos positioned Basquiat with the globe, adjusted just so, to emphasize that Basquiat's inspiration and influence were global.

Akamai Technologies (Cloud Company)

Every day, billions of people connect online to work, play, learn, shop, and share ideas. They may not know it, but Akamai is there, powering and protecting life online. For 25 years, Akamai has been scaling and securing the internet to make life better for billions of people, billions of times a day. The code "texture" in this design represents the shared language behind the many digital experiences that connect us all. It's a language that unites Akamai with the world's top brands and the people they serve, as we work together toward a vision of a safer and more connected world.
