EPICÉ, Futura, KAWS x Peanuts, MAGIC FOR ALL – MICKEY BLUE and Star Wars headlined Uniqlo UT Spring/Summer 2017 collections



EPICÉ, Futura, KAWS x Peanuts, MAGIC FOR ALL – MICKEY BLUE and Star Wars–these are just some of the designs that headlined Uniqlo UT Spring/Summer 2017 collections showcased at the new UT exclusive section at UNIQLO MEGAMALL on April 26. 

My personal favorite from the launch is the Rock Squad Collection. I am loving the Red Hot Chili Peppers T shirt among others. You could rock it in a pair of jeans and layered with a Black Tajima Kimono and a white sneakers. Or you could tuck it inside the wide flare leg skirt and accessorize with a bomber jacket.



The brand new section of the store aims to highlight the brand’s latest UT collections as well as a  wide range of other popular UT collections.



Speaking on the occasion of the launch, UNIQLO Philippines COO Katsumi Kubota said, “UT is an important part of the UNIQLO LifeWear philosophy, so we are excited to be opening UT at SM Megamall. As the biggest UNIQLO store in the Philippines, it is the perfect location to showcase the new collection’s wide range and content. All of the wonderful UT collections we offer reinforce our commitment to making the good lives of Filipinos better through great clothing that helps our customers express their love for pop culture and their individualism.”



The new dedicated UT space will feature the entire Spring/Summer 2017 UT Collection, with 16 new graphic themes, and an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world. Highlights available at launch include:

In line with the release of the long-awaited Star Wars: The Last Jedi film,UT has collaborated with three artists, namely James Jarvis, Kevin Lyons, and Geoff McFetridge, to create designs in their own style for this special collection. starwars UT

Kevin Lyons, the New York-based designer and illustrator with a wide ranging repertoire is also in on the Star Wars collaboration. Kevin’s “Monster” characters have appeared on everything from skateboards to sneakers for numerous famous brands. With his hybrid style of hand-drawn characters and typography, he’s made something supremely stylish with Star Wars.

California-based, Canadian-born Geoff McFetridge is known for his work with Spike Jonez on his film “Her” and “Where the Wild Things Are,” as well as his mobility between gallery shows and commercial collaborations.
