Uniqlo and JW Anderson Join Forces with Minimalism at Play
Uniqlo continues to work in collaboration with long-time partner and London-based brand JW Anderson as the duo release Minimalism at Play designed for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. This marks the 5th anniversary of the iconic collaboration between the two. The upcoming range highlights simplistic looks that are accessible and comfortable. Every item is perfect for layering and does not limit the quality of the designs.
Some of the highlights include the Fair Isle Souffle Yarn sweaters and flannels that are done in a variety of patterning. Speaking about the range, Anderson states “Over the years, with each collection, we’ve developed this really collaborative relationship with UNIQLO that’s interesting to see evolve. Any good collaboration has to involve a meeting of two minds or two brands, with the blend or tension of the codes from each. It’s a challenge but the teams work together and we can see the elements of JW Anderson applied to framework of UNIQLO. UNIQLO can tick boxes globally—I really admire that. I find Mr.Yanai and his vision so inspiring.”
