An upcoming collaboration between Japanese superflat artist Takashi Murakami and Pharrell Williams‘s Billionaire Boys Club label is in the works, and here are your first teaser images. First is a black T-shirt featuring the artist’s world-renowned “Flowers and Skulls” print in a box graphic, prominently colored within a range of rainbow hues. The goggle-eyed brutes first gained prominence at Murakami’s “Flowers & Skulls” exhibit (2012) at the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong. Secondly is a heather grey T-shirt with an all-over etched graphic of skulls, and a graffiti-esque Moonman print in black on the front. Details include neck prints and a sleeve tag, which also features the printed overlay of skulls for a nice attention to detail.

Billionaire Boys Club also recently released the grey T-shirt’s image on its official Instagram account shortly before, but the black T-shirt is revealed here for the first time.

Check out the exclusive teaser images above, the BBC official teaser below, and stay tuned for the full collection photos and release info to follow soon.
