MANILA, Philippines – Uniqlo has collaborated with Finnish design house Marimekko, for a new collection set to drop in late March.
The pieces combine Uniqlo’s basic, minimalist aesthetic with Marimekko’s signature bold patterns and prints for a collection that has a decidedly retro flair, reminiscent of the mod style that was all the rage in the '60s.
The collection includes graphic t-shirts, swingy sleeveless blouses, wide-leg cropped pants, and sleeveless shift dresses. Printed drawstring and tote bags are also available, as well as canvas sneakers.
