Uniqlo goes Brit with a new JW Anderson collaboration
FOR ITS fourth collaboration with Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo, British design brand JW Anderson takes inspiration from the “great British outdoors,” by offering “traditional British elements” blended with “modern designs” according to a press release.
“I liked this idea of pops of color to make the heritage Brish patterns and colors feel a bit more modern. Contrasting pops of color and tartan are very present,” Jonathan Anderson, founder of the label said in the release.
Inspired by the town of St. Ives in Cornwall, England known for its beaches and rotating modern art exhibitions, the JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2019 collection features tartan patterns and “warm Nordic designs” spread throughout a capsule collection of reversible down jackets (a collaboration standard), fleece hoodies, turtle neck sweaters, fringe skirt, a reversible two-way bag, and HeatTech lined pants for men.
The down jackets for both men and women come in “neutral and classic tones on the outside, with contrasting colors on the inside,” said the release
The Uniqlo collection is priced from P1,490 to P6,990. — ZBC
