The collection will include t-shirts, tank tops, and hooded sweaters which feature a signature print created by the person who designed it and a hang tag that says “This might be the most important piece of clothing you’ve ever had your hands on.”. Pieces will be priced from from ВЈ7.99 to ВЈ19.99 and made from 100 per cent certified organic cotton.
The collection comprises T-shirts, tank tops and hooded sweaters. All garments feature a print and the neckline label carries the name of the print designer. Some of the prints are low-key and subtle, and whisper that this is important. Others raise their voice. Katharine Hamnett’s print in big, black, block lettering on a white background shouts “USE A CONDOM!”, while Tiga’s check all-over print calls for quiet reflection.
Designers will continue to take queues from the early ’90s. We’ve already seen this with the return of plaid and empire waist dresses.

Do you always match your head wrap to what you are wearing? Not always. I’ve got more into them recently. They can give an outfit - particularly if it is a suit - a slightly different spin, which I like. Describe your style. I would aspire to a funky elegance with a classic twist. Has your style changed much over the years? I’m not sure because I don’t think of myself as having one particular style. I’m 56 now and I’ve always been quite eclectic.
In Japan, Uniqlo is a household name: its 750 stores making it the number-one fashion retailer in terms of both sales and profits. But it’s never really done fashion with a capital F. “For years it’s been where people go to buy cheap socks,” is how Shoko Rudquist, a journalist who’s lived in both Tokyo and London, puts it. “There’s one on every corner.” Now with its eyes on the rest of the world, Uniqlo has raised the bar.
