Ahead of the fifth anniversary on October 13 of its global flagship store in the Philippines, Uniqlo unveiled its Fall/Winter 2023 collection.
The Japanese fast-fashion brand collaborated with British designer Clare Waight Keller for a fresh new vision of the LifeWear line called Uniqlo: C.
Keller gushed on Instagram about the debut: “After 18 months it’s so exciting to finally see the collection hit the stores. Huge thank you to the Team at and all the incredible support from everyone.” Fellow fashion designers Marc Jacobs and PierPaolo Piccioli, and supermodel Lily Aldridge immediately sent their congratulations.Keller was artistic director at Pringle of Scotland , Chloé and Givenchy for the haute couture and ready-to-wear for women and men.
In response, Keller said: “I am honored to have been asked to create a new label for Uniqlo. I have long appreciated its LifeWear design philosophy of technical innovation and functional authenticity. I have always admired the Japanese aesthetic of subtlety, simplicity and detailed perfection, so to be able to work with the Uniqlo team to craft a new sensibility for my womenswear collection on such a global scale is a truly exciting opportunity.
“The C stands for multiple layers of things. Sometimes it’s connected to a collection I’m working on. Sometimes it’s just a spirit. It stands for casual and chic, city, clarity, connection, capsule, connectivity, creativity. And also, it stands for me.” “The other essential item is the cap. The little felt cap. It finishes the look, just giving you that great attitude. And then the corduroy pant shape is really good. It’s super flattering and an essential for the autumn/winter wardrobe.” In creating the collection, Keller was most particular about one thing.
“You can create different silhouettes using the drawstring in various ways. There’s also a beautiful satin pleated skirt with a graphic band across the bottom. That was logistically quite difficult to manage — the pleating and the graphic element — to get everything to work so perfectly, but we achieved everything in the best way.” The complete collection will be available online, in Uniqlo Manila Global Flagship Store, SM Megamall, Uniqlo C3 Annex and Westgate Alabang.
