UNIQLO Spring/Summer LifeWear Collection for 2022
UNIQLO, a Japanese worldwide garment company, brings us the joys of clothing with its Spring/Summer 2022 collection. Whether in the city, nature, at home, or at the beach, the collection offers fresh, comfortable, functional, and attractive pieces that are ideal for the season.
THE JOYS OF CLOTHING
This season, UNIQLO is focusing on the simple joys that arise when people and clothes meet. There's a jacket or dress for modern city LIFE, a relaxed and roomy pair of shorts for a trip to the great outdoors, and airy linens and madras shirts in vibrant hues that may be worn at the beach in the latest collection. This season, UNIQLO introduces four sub-themes, all of which aim to convey happiness and comfort to the wearer throughout these summer days.
The Joys of Skyline
City-dwellers enjoy the convenience of a cosmopolitan lifestyle: a neighborhood cafe with friendly baristas, a deli selling artisanal cheeses, and restaurants serving farm-to-table food. This urban way of life needs contemporary and modern clothes that can be worn at work or off-duty.
The Joys of Landscape
Relish life off the grid, the rustling of the wind in the trees, and the crunching of leaves under the shoes, with colors and textures that blend in with the scenery of nature.
The Joys of Imagination
Art and sophisticated designs stir the senses. Imaginations are supposed to wander and enter brilliant new worlds so UNIQLO found inspiration in vibrant and uplifting colors.
The Joys of Sun and Seaside
An afternoon by the beach while soaking in the sun and feeling the breeze calls for natural textures, linen fabric, and clothes that drape effortlessly over the body. These are comfortable to wear and more importantly, easy to shed off when it’s time for a dip.
UNIQLO U
This season’s collection for UNIQLO U aims to support the daily rhythm of all sorts of lifestyles. Artistic director Christophe Lemaire and the design team in Paris produced relaxed, loose-fitting, and clean silhouettes for the ultimate in comfort.
This is also reflected in the palette, featuring earth tones in brown, khaki, and olive. Warm, neutral colors, such as faded tones of orange and green, and military blue also make an appearance. A kids’ collection will be offered again this season.
UT
For this season, UNIQLO’s exciting range of t-shirts inspired by art, music, movies, manga, and other elements of culture, UT promises a diverse range of interests, including film, art, and photography.
A highlight this season is a line of monochromatic Mickey Mouse art by Joshua Vides. The artist is known for his immersive installations and products that embody the essence of pop art. Next is the collection in collaboration with Magnum Photos, a cooperative that has visually documented most of the world's major events and personalities since the 1930s. The collection includes iconic photographs shot by Alec Soth, Eli Reed, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Elliott Erwitt, and Martin Parr.
These are accompanied by a collection that features Keith Haring’s debut exhibition at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York City in 1982. Joining Haring are collections showcasing the art of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
COLLABORATIONS
Apart from the sub-themes, UNIQLO is offering collaborations that reflect different aesthetics, but are all grounded by joy:
Hana Tajima
Hana Tajima returns to create UNIQLO’s first collection dedicated to dresses. This season, the New York-based fashion designer created garments that are made to be lived in, with understated yet iconic styles.
The collection features deep greens and blues inspired by nature and flower patterns found in Tajima’s Garden. These patterns can also be found on hand-drawn scarves.
Inès de la Fressange
Inès De la Fressange turns to the colorful Moroccan city of Marrakesh in creating this season’s collection. The designer crafted high-quality and elegant yet casual items that liberally use cotton, linen, and silk.
The womenswear lineup is infused with menswear elements in natural colors and warm accents in reds, oranges, and pinks. The collection stays true to de la Fressange’s DNA of effortless chic that is truly French, truly Inès.
JW Anderson
Jonathan Anderson, who is never far from the sea, was inspired by sailing and the culture of seaside towns and ports when developing this collection. The sapphire blues of the sea, the soft browns of seashores, and the calming beiges of chalk cliffs are combined with red, green, and blue elements, reminiscent of maritime signal flags.
The nautical narrative is expressed through rope details, performance fabrics, patchwork, and asymmetrical elements.
UNIQLO’s 2022 Spring/Summer collection will be available starting February in all stores nationwide.
