UNIQLO has once again teamed up with Finnish design house Marimekko to launch a limited-edition collection.
This winter, UNIQLO and Marimekko have launched a trendy holiday collection characterized by modern silhouettes, rich textures, and bold prints throughout. The theme of the new collection is 'Joyful Together,' and the goal is to pair Marimekko’s warm and spirited prints with UNIQLO's simple designs to bring people together during this festive time of year. As UNIQLO's Head of R&D Yuki Katsuta explained in a press release: "Challenging times have made it more important than ever to connect with close friends this holiday season. We hope people everywhere will feel comfortable and at ease in the new line."
With everything from poplin dresses featuring Marimekko’s signature prints, to UNIQLO's Ultra Light Down coat with a sport modified collar, the new collection has something for everyone.
