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.
In addition to Uniqlo U, the company also announced new developments for its other lines. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the company’s UT line of graphic tees, a new collection has been announced that will revive 18 designs from the UT archives.
An online gallery showcasing UT designs over the years will also be available to the public.
The company will also continue its collaboration with lifestyle icon Ines De La Fressange with a new Fall/Winter collection that will feature a selection of various knitwear.
Finally, Uniqlo has also announced the launch of the Fall/Winter dress collection from New York fashion designer, Hana Tajima.
