MANILA, Philippines – In a first for Japanese apparel giant Uniqlo, its flagship outpost in Manila is opening an pop-up interactive exhibit: “Uniqlo Summer.”
The 4-room exhibit is inspired by the brand’s summer essentials, including those from its premium Uniqlo U LifeWear line.
Eye candy and bursting with color, the four rooms are designed to “mirror the characteristics of Uniqlo’s core items for the season,” according to the press release.
Of course, it’s also a chance for the retail giant’s customers to play around and take fun pictures.
The “visual playground” is a collaboration with creatives and stylists Daryl Chang and Vince Uy.
The exhibit, which is open to the public, will run from April 6 to 13. Admission is free.

Floating Free
This installation isn’t an allusion to Solange’s “Cranes in the Sky,” but rather, Uniqlo’s collection of linen clothing.

Golden paper cranes fly over sharp-edged mountains in pastel hues and blues.
This scene, set against a video backdrop of a serene sky, might bring to mind the “quiet cool” of linen.
