Uniqlo announces its next collaboration with JW Anderson

The Japanese fast fashion brand announced that designer Jonathan Anderson will be in charge of translating its British heritage into an upcoming collaboration scheduled for Fall 2017 which will include pieces for men and women.

“Collaborations are incredibly important in design. When I think of Uniqlo, I think of things that are perfectly made, that people have spent a lot of time considering; it’s a difficult job, and I think Uniqlo do it very well,” said Anderson. “Working with Uniqlo is probably the most incredible template of democracy in fashion, and it’s nice that my design can be accessible to anyone, on all different levels.”

The Irish designer who in addition to having his own brand JW Anderson, is the creative director of Loewe, joins other personalities that have collaborated with the brand such as Carine Roitfeld, Christophe Lemaire and Jil Sander.
