Jil Sander and UNIQLO join forces to collectively design the new +J Collection that boasts progressive and minimal designs to capture the expertise of both contributing efforts involved. The stealthy designs will feature staple items that are made to be wearable throughout all seasons of the year.
This highly anticipated collaboration is meant to mark a strong comeback as the Japanese retailer's inaugural designer partnership. The minimal designs feature understated essential items that perfectly merges daily lifestyle items with elevated structures.

And I like what is Japanese about UNIQLO, a strong sense of tradition, the orderly approach to everything, great know-how and logistics.”
