Japanese ready-to-wear brand Uniqlo and Italian luxury label Marni have teamed up for a capsule collection that is set to be released on Thursday, May 26 2022, available at Uniqlo stores and on the brand’s e-shop. The limited-edition collection features vibrant, colourful items patterned with floral prints, stripes and checks. It includes dresses, anoraks, raincoats, trousers, button-down shirts, T-shirts with graphic motifs and more. One of the stand-out items is a unisex jacket decorated in a floral pattern.

Francesco Risso, creative director of Marni, has reinvented Uniqlo’s signature looks, adding a luxury feel to them. The palette is vivid, full of typical spring colours: blue, green and yellow (the dominant hues) are this season’s statement colours at Uniqlo.

Uniqlo is also launching a Spring/Summer 2022 collection in collaboration with ready-to-wear label Mame Kurogouchi, founded by Maiko Kurogouchi. It will be available on Uniqlo’s e-shop and at selected stores from June 9 2022. This womenswear collaboration will celebrate women through a unique wardrobe in a soft, earthy colour palette ideal for highlighting all skin tones.
