Born in New York City, Saturdays NYC is a clothing and lifestyle brand with bases in New York, Japan and Australia, and a history of collaborating with creatives in each community.

Ken's relationship with Japan runs deep, his lasting appreciation for Japanese art and poetry began after first visiting in 1962. His artwork appeared on the cover of Tokyo magazine Hanako every week for over 13 years and a major touring exhibition in 1991 drew over 200,000 visitors, cementing his cultural connection to the country.

This new collaboration of t-shirts, shirts, shorts and scarves channels the spirit of Australia, translating Done’s art into wearable pieces that are playful, vibrant, and unmistakably his. Each item is a canvas for Ken Done’s signature colour and expressive linework, blending vintage prints with modern aesthetics.
 
The collection is now available at Saturdays NYC locations in Shibuya, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Kobe - and exclusively in Australia at the Ken Done Gallery. Visit us in Sydney or shop online while stocks last!

 “It's been wonderful for us to work with Saturdays NYC in Japan. Seeing my artworks interpreted in new ways for a new market is always thrilling, and I'm especially pleased that they have chosen some of my lesser known paintings for this collaboration. My deep respect for Japanese art and design began with my first visit in 1962 and I look forward to the possibility of new projects and exhibitions in the future.
