JW Anderson and Uniqlo continue to work alongside one another on another collection to launch in the Japanese lifestyle brand's retail space. This time, the duo prepare a capsule that is ready for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. It is packed with minimal design language and the pieces are presented in a video campaign.
Overall, it boasts a preppy look and also draws influences from the early days when the two forces first joined. The collection is set to drop officially on April 6th and the campaign sees styling with items such as the Birkenstock Bostons. Other items in the range include playful shirts, classic oxfords with striped details, smart blazers, swim shorts, and polo tops.
