UNIVRS will also offer exclusive merchandise from international artists like Marylou Faure (UK) and Sambypen (Korea), who created designs inspired by “Minions: The Rise of Gru” for streetwear styles, including bucket and corduroy hats, crop tank tops, matching sweatshirt and pant sets, tracksuits, tees and more.
Jason Keam Mural
In addition, Los Angeles-based artist Jason Keam has created a selfie wall mural in the UNIVRS store to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” and his mural art inspired designs for exclusive apparel and totes that will be coming soon.
“This is a one in a million opportunity for me to celebrate the epic classic, E.T., through my creative lens,” Keam said. “Growing up in Southern California, much like the kids in the film, I craved inspiration, friendships, and adventure all the while staying connected to my family and community. My hope is that my artwork and involvement in this project conveys a playful spirit, sense of wonder, and connection to our homes, no matter the galaxy.”
