Uniqlo's Wonderful Wang



Well, I had to show some love for my beloved Uniqlo, didn’t I especially when I have counted 12 tops, 6 jumpers, 3 cardigan and 4 skirts from the damn place floating around in my wardrobe with my current obsession being a grey menswear cotton cashmere jumper that is starting to soften up nicely from overwearing.



I ESPECIALLY had to show some love when they have decided to collaborate with Alexander Wang for another round of Designers Invitation Project along with Tim Hamilton and Loden Dager. Alexander Wang is one of those designers which has had the advantage of a great deal of 'talking up' by the press but at least behind that, there lies designs that I absolutely can’t help but love and want to wear. He manages to really sort of distil a certain vibe of New York style into his clothes in a way that is appealing to me.



I ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY had to show the love when I saw these images of the designs that Wang has done for Uniqlo which have surfaced. It’s grey, white and black simple colour blocking that is interestingly done and allows Wang’s effortless style to shine through and yet you still believe that the clothes are still coming from Uniqlo. There will be eight designs in total ranging from £15-£40 I believe and they will be dropping into the UK stores from late May to early June (I think they come a little earlier in the USA). Bagsy me the first black pleated dress in particular.
