Background and Prospects for Collaboration
Yukihiro Katsuta, Executive Officer of Fast Retailing and UNIQLO Global R&D, commented. “Our goal is to continue to create clothes that are high quality, simple, timeless, and long-wearing, and that allow people’s individuality to shine through. Our LifeWear is clothing that breathes in the spirit of the times while making the wearer feel more comfortable and discovering a new self.We have come to this collaboration out of respect for the traditions of uniforms, workwear, and sportswear that have evolved over a long history in the UK, as well as a sense of affinity with UNIQLO’s pursuit of clothing creation. By collaborating with JW ANDERSON, one of the most energetic and creative British designers working today, we hope to deliver evolved essential wear for the next 10, 20 years and beyond into the future.”
Features of UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON
This collection is based on the standard wardrobe items that symbolize traditional British fashion, such as trench coats, hunting jackets, Fair Isle sweaters, and school scarves, and combines JW Anderson’s unique design symbolized by vivid and bold color schemes with the functional beauty of UNIQLO’s high quality materials and fit. The result is a fusion of JW ANDERSON’s unique design, symbolized by vivid and bold colors, and UNIQLO’s functional beauty, such as high-quality materials and fit. The innovative lineup is a modern interpretation of traditional British attire, including HEATTECH, which is synonymous with UNIQLO, and Kaihara denim with a vintage finish that is both comfortable and rich in flavor.

A women’s collection will also be released, but this time the men’s and unisex collections will be introduced.
