JAPANESE RETAILER Uniqlo has launched its latest collection of HEATTECH underwear, this time done in collaboration with American fashion designer Alexander Wang.
According to the Uniqlo Web site, the “new series of HEATTECH is designed to be worn as an inner layer or simply worn on its own for enduring cold weather support.”
The collection includes pieces for men and women which come in neutrals — white, black, nude, and gray — and neon green. The women’s pieces include bras, shorts, leggings, body suits, tank tops, and long sleeved shirts; the men’s pieces include briefs, boxer briefs, crew neck shirts, tank tops, and tights.
“I pushed the boundaries a lot,” the designer told Singapore’s The Straits Times about the deceptively simple collection, which was released worldwide on Nov. 9. “There are a lot of little twists, like taking the rib knit and cutting it on the bias, or making certain jerseys a little drier and not too slick so it didn’t have that super technical feeling that you get when wearing sportswear. It feels like wearing your favorite T-shirt.”
Available at the SM Megamall branch and flagship store in Glorietta 5 are the men’s ribbed tank top, and ribbed briefs and the women’s ribbed sleeveless top, ribbed sleeveless body suit, and long sleeved extra warm body suit. Other pieces in the collection are available in all stores.
