Hong Kong’s weekly fashion and lifestyle magazine EAST TOUCH has put together a special upcoming issue and product combo together with adidas, designer Kazuki Kuraishi and CLOT. The 747th issue will come with a co-branded EAST TOUCH x adidas x kzkLOT cardholder which is seen on a printed larnyard which releases on September 22nd, 2009.

As part of the ongoing collaborative venture between Hong Kong brand CLOT and Japanese designer Kazuki Kuraishi of fragment design fame, the heralded creative combines various elements of CLOT’s 2009 spring/summer “CLOTone” theme into one package via the Polka t-shirt. Kazuki said, “I have been thinking about the design for this amazing design concept, and I would like to put the five representative colors of the POWER tier on the same clothes, instead of merely using one particular color. The whole set of Pantone color could show the emotion more significantly.” Kazuki also had these choice words to say “I personally like the dot pattern very much. So when I was thinking how to merge the 5 pantones together on one design, it becomes my first design core preference. Due to the colorful dot appearance, I would rather choose a simple-cut clothes as the base. Thus, you won’t feel too odd about the multi-color graphic.” The t-shirt will release on July 8th at JUICE HK/JUICE KL as well as online at CLOTinc.com.
