Our Fashion Editor’s pick of the best pieces from Uniqlo’s designer collaboration with Marni

Designer collaborations provide some of the most eagerly anticipated launches on the high street, but few have excited fashion fans quite like Uniqlo’s brand new collection with luxury Italian fashion house Marni.

Marking the pair’s first-ever collaboration, this collection perfectly fuses Uniqlo’s much-loved high-quality staples with Marni’s iconic 70s-inspired graphic aesthetic and results in fun floral prints and super bright shades splashed across a canvas of timeless, relaxed silhouettes.

“I’ve been hugely excited about this collaboration since the start,” said Francesco Risso, Creative Director at 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.”

The 20-piece collection spans both menswear and womenswear, with several of the menswear pieces – the shirting, in particular – undoubtedly set to prove tempting as a genderless staple.

“We are proud of how this collaboration with Marni has produced a collection for a new era and a new season that allows everyone to experience the joy of wearing clothes,” commented Yukihiro Katsuta, Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Head of R&D for Uniqlo.

“The Uniqlo philosophy of clothing that is simple, high quality, functional, and ingenious in detail, imbued with Marni’s creative vitality, has produced bold and innovative LifeWear.” 

“I am extremely pleased that we are able to offer this essential LifeWear collection that accentuates individual character and feelings in a positive way.”

The Uniqlo x Marni collaboration collection launched today, with pieces ranging in price from £12.90-£129.90.
