Playful And Colourful Everyday Wear For The First Uniqlo X Marni Collaboration

Playful and bold colours and sophistication of designs are the main elements to expect ahead of the new collaboration between Uniqlo and Marni, launching on May 19th. Already well-known for its collections with luxury designers such as JW Anderson and Jil Sanders, Uniqlo is now partnering with the Italian luxury fashion brand for the first time to create a wardrobe where LifeWear quality and Marni’s unique shapes and colourful prints blend seamlessly.

“I’ve been hugely excited about this collaboration since the start”, says Francesco Risso, Creative Director of Marni. “Throughout the whole process we have always championed Uniqlo’s ethos and the integrity that lies behind the brand’s vision, giving our interpretation of Uniqlo’s LifeWear through a slightly out-of-the-box proposition that combines impeccably crafted clothes with MARNI’s offbeat and life-embracing spirit. I really hope that wearers feel good, that they feel themselves, that they feel free".

Designed on the theme of universality, this Spring/Summer collection “accentuates individual character and feelings in a positive way”, quoting the words of Yukihiro Katsuta, Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Head of R&D for UNIQLO. The proposition will revolutionize the concept of everyday wear as it plays with bright colours and pop-style prints in true Marni style, while providing relaxed yet considered silhouettes and bold balloon volume.

With prices ranging from £12.90 to £129.90, standouts of the collaboration include the women’s Balloon Skirt with the coordinated sleeveless blouse in the same colour palette that creates a light and volume-enhancing look, and a men’s tailored jacket and pants with a distinctive Marni touch. The dynamic cocoon silhouette BLOCKTECH coat and the pocketable parka are also essentials that you are not going to want to miss in your spring/summer wardrobe.
