We all know and love Uniqlo for his elegant and simple clothes and accessories. Japanese casual wear is always trendy, but almost never trendy (which isn’t a diss by the way – all the cool kids wear Uniqlo and its many collaborations). Classic pieces are the building blocks of a high-quality wardrobe that lasts. And this is even more true for the brand LifeWear Collectiona line of elevated everyday essentials, just refreshed through a second sought-after collaboration with British designer Clare Waight Keller.
Waight Keller has previously designed for luxury brands Chloé and Givenchy (and was the latter’s first female artistic director), held positions at Gucci, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, and was named British Designer of the Year 2018 at the British Fashion Awards. . If all of that isn’t impressive enough, Waight Keller was too The designer who created Meghan Markle’s iconic wedding dress. To put it simply, she has put her stamp on the entire fashion industry and recently, she has focused on Uniqlo.
In September 2023, Waight Keller became its designer for the first time Uniqlo: C, a womenswear collection at Uniqlo LifeWear. Both the previous Fall/Winter 2023 drop (which R29 readers devoured and helped sell out, according to our anonymous shopping data) and new fall Spring/Summer 2024 they’re full of effortlessly modern pieces that prioritize comfort and functionality. “In this second collection for UNIQLO : C, I wanted to explore the concept of movement through lightness,” Waight Keller said in a statement, adding, “Fluidity and freshness were key elements of the spirit.”
