Collaborations between Uniqlo and Hana Tajima began in 2015 as an extension of the Japanese brand’s LifeWear concept. Uniqlo has once again teamed up with the New York-based designer for Fall-Winter 2021 collection. This season’s capsule reflects on cultural diversity from a global perspective. Themed as An Environment for the Body, this comfy-cool LifeWear collection aims to create a positive environment for both body and spirit, adapting to the way a woman’s body changes over time.
“I was interested in the idea of clothing as a sort of environment for our bodies and considered how things feel when they’re worn. Also, through good design, we can create a sense of connection to ourselves,” said the UK-born fashion designer. “These clothes are meant to be worn and lived in and that’s really where that intersection with Uniqlo’s philosophy of LifeWear comes in. I want people wearing these clothes to feel that sense of connection to their bodies and themselves.“
For this collection, the silhouettes that deftly bring out the individuality of the wearer have been refined to provide more relaxed comfort and elegance. Soft textiles with a sense of flowing movement produce elegant forms, while the unadorned styles and careful attention to transitions and seams create clean lines and exceptional comfort. This is exemplified in the high-neck shirt, where clever design details at the neck deliver new levels of comfort for this type of garment. The natural color palette of wood and mineral tones, with subtle patterns inspired by sculpture and traditional weaving techniques, are expressed with floral motifs in a gorgeous, organic atmosphere.
The Hana Tajima for Uniqlo collection is perfect for women who value modest dressing, and at the same time do not want to compromise on style.
The collection drops on July 30 at select Uniqlo stores and www.uniqlo.com/ph
