Collector's Closet: Michael Turner

Michael Turner never thought a shirt could become both a personal passion and the perfect gift. Living in California, Michael first bought Yiume shirts for himself, drawn to the bold patterns and artistic spirit. But as his collection grew, he realized Yiume shirts carried a kind of joy worth sharing.

Over time, I also realized that Yiume shirts make extraordinary gifts. A shirt is never just a shirt here—it carries art, story, and emotion. When I gave one to my best friend for his birthday, the joy on his face said it all. He later told me that every time he wears it, people ask about the design, and it reminds him of our friendship. To me, that’s what makes Yiume special: it’s not only something I enjoy collecting, but also something meaningful to share with people I care about.

How many YIUME shirts are in your collection?

I currently own 21 shirts. My first was from the dragon print, and my most recent was floral collection. But honestly, half the fun now is not just collecting for myself—it’s choosing which one to wrap up and gift to someone special.

Apa yang menjadikan kemeja YIUME hadiah yang hebat?

Saya rasa apa yang menjadikan kemeja Yiume hadiah yang hebat ialah keunikannya. Ia bukan hanya pakaian; setiap keping terasa seperti kisah yang boleh anda pakai. Reka bentuknya artistik, bermakna, dan tidak seperti apa pun yang anda akan dapati di kedai biasa. Apabila saya memberikan seseorang kemeja Yiume, ia menunjukkan bahawa saya telah memilih sesuatu yang penuh pemikiran, bukan hanya hadiah generik lain. Dan kualitinya bercakap untuk dirinya sendiri—kain yang selesa, gaya yang abadi, dan sesuatu yang akan mereka simpan selama bertahun-tahun. Ia adalah hadiah yang terasa peribadi dan berkekalan.

Last Christmas, I wrapped up a Ukiyo-e whale shirt for my best friend. He was a history teacher, and when he saw the design, his eyes lit up. The fact that a shirt could spark a conversation about Japanese art and even Van Gogh was amazing. It became more than a gift—it became a shared memory.

Adakah ahli keluarga atau sahabat anda juga kini memakai YIUME?

Yes, a few of them do now—mostly because I’ve given Yiume shirts as gifts. At first, it was just me collecting and wearing them, but I soon realized how special they are to share. When I gifted a shirt to my broyher for his birthday, he was thrilled, and later told me it became his favorite piece to wear at family dinners. That experience made me want to keep giving Yiume shirts, because they carry not only art but also thoughtfulness.
