” Uniqlo U” Fall/Winter 2017 Collection Available Friday, September 29

UNIQLO proposes ” LifeWear ” clothes that make every aspect of people’s lives more comfortable and enriched. The new line “Uniqlo U” led by Christophe Lemaire, who has his own maison brand in Paris, will be available at UNIQLO stores and online stores in Japan from September 29 (Fri.), 2017.

What is “Uniqlo U”?

Uniqlo U” is a new line proposed by UNIQLO’s Paris R&D (Research & Development) Center. The Paris R&D Center’s design team is comprised of world-class designers and skilled pattern makers, including the artistic director Christophe Lemaire. This collection, now in its third season, proposes “LifeWear of the Future” that is constantly evolving and being pursued by taking advantage of each member’s specialized skills. The collection actively incorporates innovative ideas in design, patterns, material development, and sewing methods, aiming to create clothing that ideally expresses one’s own figure.

Various innovations and new proposals for coats and down jackets

One of the hottest items this season is the “Women’s Blocktech Trench Coat,” “Men’s Blocktech Coat,” and “Men’s Blocktech Mod Coat,” all of which use the high-performance material “BLOCKTECH” with water repellency, wind resistance, and moisture permeability. BLOCKTECH has been well-received as UNIQLO’s sporty functional item, and Uniqlo U has created a design that can be worn in town. The matte surface of the cotton material makes it an urban, sophisticated, and highly functional outerwear for adults.

In addition, the new ” Seamless Down Track Jacket ” is now available for men and women, using a new technology developed with Toray Industries, Inc. The fabric is a high-density, double-weave polyester fabric, which makes it difficult for down to escape. The overall silhouette is sleek and clean, so it is expected to work well not only as outerwear but also as inner down worn under outerwear. This collection will be available in 46 women’s wear, 27 men’s wear, and 11 merchandise items.
