Kenzo Minami and the ACE Hotel team up on this special edition t-shirt for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief. The charity of their choice being the Real Medicine Foundation. Here are Mr. Minami’s thoughts on the design:

“It is about ‘Re:’ in terms of ‘Reply’ – our reply to the tsunami and our response to Japan (which is this charity itself and collectively to help the world and give on a larger scale). Also, Japan will need a lot of ‘Re____’ from now on: ‘Rebuild,’ ‘Restart,’ ‘Reboot,’ ‘Recharge’ and more.”

Available online now through the ACE Hotel Shop and select Rudy’s Barbershop locations.
