Puma x YAMEPI Graphic Tee

YAMEPI’s art is eye-catching, to say the least; his illustrations invoke the roots of punk, as well as contemporary skate culture. What’s most striking about his pieces is the fashion, which he carefully selects to give life to his characters. 

Dressed in New York Yankees caps, tracksuits, oversize hoodies, and chunky sneakers, his characters symbolize well the current fashion movement among Tokyo’s youth. Adorned in colorful nail polish and rock star-like tattoos, hiding in clumsy stars on top of it all seems to be YAMEPI’s final touch to a drawing.
