In an exciting announcement, UNIQLO is ushering in a new era for women’s fashion with the launch of UNIQLO : C, a stunning collection created in collaboration with acclaimed British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller. Known for her fluid designs, subtle use of colour, and contemporary silhouettes, Waight Keller has breathed fresh life into the UNIQLO LifeWear line, offering customers a unique blend of style and comfort.
The name UNIQLO : C was carefully chosen to reflect the myriad elements that inspire this collection, all revolving around the letter C: Curiosity, Conversation, City, Clarity, Connection, and Creativity, as well as the designer’s own name, Clare. UNIQLO : C combines advanced techniques and sophisticated designs honed from Clare Waight Keller’s extensive experience, ensuring that each piece seamlessly blends comfort and functionality, perfectly aligning with the demands of modern life.
Yukihiro Katsuta, Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Head of R&D for UNIQLO, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “UNIQLO : C marks an exciting new chapter in the world of UNIQLO women’s wear. I believe Clare’s wealth of experience and her designs, which truly understand the modern woman, will set a new standard for LifeWear. We hope to continue this fruitful collaboration with Clare, delivering collections that exude energy and sensibility to delight wearers.”
Clare Waight Keller herself shared her excitement, stating, “I am deeply honored to have been invited to create a new label for UNIQLO. I have long admired the LifeWear design philosophy, which combines technical innovation and functional authenticity. The Japanese aesthetic of subtlety, simplicity, and detailed perfection has always been an inspiration to me. Working with the UNIQLO team to craft a new sensibility for my women’s collection on a global scale is a truly thrilling opportunity.”
The UNIQLO : C collection introduces an array of remarkable pieces that redefine classic wardrobe staples. The four-season gabardine twill breathes new life into the timeless trench coat. PUFFTECH blousons and coats provide warmth without the bulk, while the light down pieces incorporate anti-static technology for added convenience.
Soft lustre satin is skillfully heat-pressed to create exquisite knife-pleated maxi skirts. The trousers exude a casual attitude, while fluid skirts and dresses boast delicate micro-floral and paisley prints, allowing for effortless mixing and matching with a range of relaxed sweaters, shrunken cardigans, and zipped boyfriend pull-overs.
UNIQLO’s iconic round shoulder bag now comes in a chic, oversized version designed to carry all your personal essentials. To complete the look, a variety of appealing shoe options are also available, ensuring a seamless and stylish ensemble.
With UNIQLO : C, Clare Waight Keller has not only crafted a collection but has also woven together a tapestry of inspiration, innovation, and impeccable style. This collaboration marks a remarkable chapter in the world of fashion, offering women a fresh perspective on modern, comfortable, and elegant attire.
The full UNIQLO : C collection will be available from today at the UNIQLO Orchard Central Global Flagship and ION Orchard, and online.
