August 31, 2022, Manila, Philippines -
Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the launch of the Uniqlo U 2022
Fall/Winter collection starting September 23. Designed by Artistic Director
Christophe Lemaire and his UNIQLO R&D team in Paris under the theme the Essentials
with a Point of View, the new collection offers an even more considered
take on minimalism.
Uniqlo U 2022 Fall/Winter began with the idea of a
capsule wardrobe that could fit into a single suitcase, adaptable enough to
take you through an entire season with essentials that pay special attention to
functionality and versatility.
A
New Genderless Offering
The men’s and women’s design teams worked together
to create a concise collection of genderless essentials such as the practical
pocketable long coat and workwear-inspired utility short blouson jacket, varied
in size but not design, that reflect a modern approach to dressing. Boxy
silhouettes and roomy proportions are suited to many body types and layer
effortlessly with both the men’s and women’s garments.
Essentials for our Lifestyles
The women’s collection features carefully
considered essentials that provide practicality, comfort, and versatility in
our daily lives. Utilitarian, layered silhouettes are both beautiful and
functional: coats made for commuting, soft wool knits, menswear-inspired
shirts, classic high-waisted jeans with a modern, rounded leg. The men’s lineup
is a thoughtfully curated, versatile collection of pieces designed for city
life and outdoor pursuits. Generous, boxy layers made of soft wool, flannel and
cotton jersey bring a sense of warmth and comfort. The perfect chino pants
modernize the classic workwear style with a wide, tapered leg.
A range of sophisticated new colors
- bright ochre yellow, purple, washed red and warm
white - complement rich neutrals, grounded in
nature.
