New beginnings, brighter days

GLOBAL apparel retailer UNIQLO has announced its latest collaboration with JW Anderson, which will be available in stores on April 23. The new lineup is the fruit of UNIQLO’S ongoing collaboration with the London-based brand revolutionizing contemporary fashion. Artisanal craft is alive this season in the 2021 spring/summer collection. Created with a hope for new beginnings and brighter days, the collection continues to evolve UNIQLO Lifewear with signature JW Anderson craftsmanship and heirloom charm (www.uniqlo.com/jwanderson).

Designer Jonathan Anderson says, “I was really thinking of spring when I was working on this collection. We were all staying inside and I was looking forward to when we could venture out again. I also wanted to incorporate a feeling of craft, as its very important to me.”

A playful sense of ease threads through the range. T-shirts, blouses, hats, tote bags and other items feature wildflower embroidery accents with appearances that vary according to hue and fabric. Other noteworthy touches are blanket stitching on men’s T-shirts and work shirts, and on women’s denim items, as well as bohemian smocking on dresses and skirts.

Cool linen and seersucker lighten the impact of such key collection colors as khaki, brown and ivory. Men’s and women’s offerings include shorts and feature the homespun feels of linen blends and slub cotton. signature JW Anderson craftsmanship shines through in the stitchwork and simple silhouettes of this relaxing collection.
