Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo is known for its graphic tees depicting everything from Mickey Mouse to Andy Warhol’s silkscreened prints to Keith Haring’s funky figures. To commemorate the opening of its Scarborough Town Centre store, it’s selling three special tees and tote bags, each celebrating a long-standing Scarborough restaurant on the Sheppard Avenue East strip in Agincourt.
“Food places bring people together. They hold a lot of memories, your cherished moments — that’s the hold these places have on people,” said Bianca Alongi of Casabianca Art, whose watercolours of Toronto landmarks led to Uniqlo asking her to create a design depicting Markham Station restaurant.
To mark the opening of a new Uniqlo at Scarborough Town Centre, the store is selling T-shirts celebrating three beloved area restaurants.
