As early as two months before KAWS UT’s final drop together, news that the collaboration was happening seemed to leak. From there, KAWS took to Instagram to announce the collaboration officially via several animated posts of BFFs and Companions holding up different KAWS shirts. The result was an unprecedented level of hype which resulted in the site crashing and riots in some malls in China. The Pink BFF Tee features an illustrated KAWS Pink BFF hugging a Companion plush. The artist’s signature XXs are embroidered on the sleeve of the shirt as well. The KAWS BFF Pocket Tee released on Monday, June 3rd, 2019
