SHINPEI UENO, My Life with Skateboard 

Newly appointed UT Creative Director Kosuke Kawamura had one thing on his mind for this season’s collections: to use the T-shirt as a medium for informing the public about the cutting edge of arts and culture. By collaborating with a variety of cultural communities on a series of T-shirt collections, he hopes to promote their culture to a wider audience. First up is the Skater Collection, which incorporates skateboarding culture. The designs were provided by a couple of renowned skaters: Shinpei Ueno of Japan and Alex Olson of the United States. We sat down with them and talked about the joys and highs of skateboarding and what it means to live the life of a skater.
