A few weeks ago XLARGE® debuted a collaboration with Japanese designer and illustrator Hajime Sorayama, where the brand’s “OG Gorilla” mascot was transformed into one of the artist’s iconic robots. In an exclusive interview, Sorayama  sat with us to speak about his upcoming collaboration and what art means to him; “being creative or artistic means to make people surprised, with something that doesn’t exist
