What if a single T-shirt had the power to spread peace?

What if a single T-shirt had the power to spread peace?

“It’s time for action, in the name of world peace.” Major figures who share this vision with UNIQLO have volunteered to design T-shirts embodying their peaceful wishes. All proceeds will be donated to international organisations supporting those affected by violence, discrimination, armed conflict, and poverty. The PEACE FOR ALL project is powered by each and every one of you who wear these T-shirts. Our wish is for a world in which all people can feel safe in their daily lives.

UNIQLO will continue to broaden this initiative, working with people all around the world.

*UNIQLO parent company Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. will donate an amount equivalent to all profits (no less than 20% of the selling price) equally among UNHCR, Save the Children Japan, and Plan International Inc. This sales promotion is conducted by Fast Retailing, a parent company of UNIQLO Japan.

    The most powerful tool that children have is their imagination. So I wanted to create a space where these children could come and express themselves and play with whatever came into their heads. There was a lot of giggling and some inventive creatures and poses.

  • Cristina de Middel

    It is well known that creativity sits in our capacity to subvert the given order of things and the meanings we learned in our journey to adulthood. In my work, I reconnect to the absolute power that we are born with and use while we are still children. It's the same power that turns a folded piece of paper into a boat or a pencil into a rocket and I believe that looking at the world as a place you can change and modify is an essential skill to remind the next generation of if we want to make a change. Working with these children in Vietnam gave me plenty of hope for what was to come and it was also a lot of fun.

    President of Magnum Photos

    Cristina de Middel

    Cristina de Middel investigates photography’s ambiguous relationship to truth. Blending documentary and conceptual photographic practices, she plays with reconstructions and archetypes in order to build a more layered understanding of the subjects she approaches. Working from the premise that mass media is reducing our real understanding of the world we live in, De Middel responds to an urgency to re-imagine tired aesthetic tropes and insert opinion in place of facts. De Middel was born in Spain and is based between Mexico and Brazil. She became a Magnum nominee in 2017 and Magnum President in 2022.

  • Lindokuhle Sobekwa

    I learn so much from the people I photograph. Working with people in Aw-barre Camp, hope, dreams, and resilience became central themes I wanted my work to represent. I wanted to play with metaphors of the rainbow that symbolise hope and promise of a better time to come, as well as a powerful quote from one of the people I worked with. The image is set in a landscape on a border that separates the Ethiopian Jijiga from the Somali border, inhabited by Somalian refugees.

  • Saul Leiter

    Saul Leiter had a knack for capturing peaceful moments that hush the considerable noise of New York City. “It’s been decided that I have a penchant for quietness,” he once said with a chuckle. Whether Leiter is observing a gentle kiss in Times Square amid the hubbub of New Year’s Eve celebrations, or finding a solitary young girl in a red coat making a snowball behind a downtown apartment building, the photographer communes with his surroundings to portray a uniquely tranquil vision of his beloved New York.

  • Han Meilin

    I've created numerous animal drawings, driven by my deep love for nature and animals. The true calling of an artist lies in treating all forms of life with kindness. I see the world through a heart filled with love, dedicated to the pursuit of peace. The dove, holding an olive branch, stands as a powerful symbol of peace, and its impact reaches far beyond the canvas. Great love knows no bounds.

    I grew up flying kites in pre-war Afghanistan and always associate them in my mind with peace. My design is a reminder that we are at our best when we approach one another with dignity and resolve our differences through mutual understanding and respect.

  • Hakuju Kuiseko

    Stand on the ground and draw a circle around you. If you make it bigger, it will stretch out into the universe, and if you go smaller, it will home in on the self. A circle drawn in one stroke tells you things about your life, about the state of your heart. At the core, our hearts are pure, untainted and free. What do you see?

Despite, or maybe because of their differences, they all manage to peacefully coexist with each other.

  • Takeshi Yoro

    Focusing on peace makes perfect sense. With so much of the world looking for peace, how can it be any other way? This T-shirt is a tribute to my late cat, Maru. When a stray cat took its food, Maru didn’t get upset until a minute after the other cat was gone. A cat who could not fight. Though perhaps that’s for the best. The time has come to give peace our undivided attention.

    We do not believe that a T-shirt can express much of a philosophical message. But it does eventually inspire some thoughts, make you imagine some dream or hear some song of a peaceful past. That is what we need so much these days.

    When I Saw the Earth for the First Time' - I imagined a picture book with a title like this. The colourful sphere represents the earth, the yellow sphere represents the sun, and the child holding the balloon is you, the main character.
    The diversity of living creatures that exist on this earth creates and drives the beauty of the earth. I expressed that through the universality and infinity of colour. I hope that colours will move people's hearts.

    People passing on the street in every town in every country all busy and focused, engaged in their lives and concerns. These people were walking in Busan, South Korea but they could be anywhere really, part of a constant flow of people around the world. I read a lot of history books and so much of them are about war and conflict. I have to remind myself that most of the time people were just going about their business walking the streets in the mornings to work or to see friends.

    Do we need to be like aliens to observe the miracle of creation, rather than the culture of destruction? In a nostalgic and simple vision of peace, an alien with sunglasses sits on a globe as if it was a Pilates ball. This image seems to suggest: what I like about Planet Earth isn't found on Planet Earth. The best telescope in the world shows what unites us. The primordial universe? Love that moves the sun and other stars?

  • Cristina de Middel, Magnum Photos

    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 dove 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.

Blending documentary and conceptual photographic practices, she plays with reconstructions and archetypes in order to build a more layered understanding of the subjects she approaches. Working from the premise that mass media is reducing our real understanding of the world we live in, De Middel responds to an urgency to re-imagine tired aesthetic tropes and insert opinion in place of facts.
    De Middel was born in Spain and is based between Mexico and Brazil. She became a Magnum nominee in 2017 and Magnum President in 2022.

    To protect the young girl means protecting the future of the human race.

    Trust is not being afraid. Peace is strength.
