2K by Gingham had unusual beginnings when it started off. They globe trotted all around the world in search of interesting museum tee-shirts to be imported to Japan for sale during a trend of selling these aforementioned museum tee-shirts in fashion boutiques. However, as this trend cooled with the lack of new cutting edge contemporary designs, they began to take matters into their own hands and sourced out their own artists in an attempt to continue this free form of expression. This latest collection revels in the art created by Michael Leon of Stacks and Genevieve Gauckler.
