UNIQLO announces thel launch of "CELEBRATING SOFIA COPPOLA UT" collection on Monday, March 6

 

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces that it will launch the CELEBRATING SOFIA COPPOLA UT collection on Monday, March 6. This collaboration spotlights some of Ms. Coppola’s greatest achievements since her debut as a film director 25 years ago, flourishing into one of Hollywood’s leading contemporary directors by exploring the subtleties of human life. The UT line presents memorable scenes and quotes from her films. 

Commenting on today’s announcement, Takahiro Kinoshita, Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Creative Director, said, "Sofia Coppola has many fans around the world, including me. I feel her charm is in her ability to create carefully layered visual expressions, as well as her overall style and way of living a dignified life. I am really happy to be collaborating with Ms. Coppola on our special film-themed UT collection."

Ms. Coppola said, “I am so happy to have this project celebrating my work and hope people will enjoy the T-shirts as a token of the films that are so much a part of my life. They are a great reminder of the collaborators I worked with and the creative experience we shared. I like to wear T-shirts of artists and musicians who I love, and in the same way wish for them to mean something to someone who likes my work. I always like how a T-shirt can connect you to other people who like the same thing you do.

The collection presents motifs from five of her most noteworthy films. They are The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie Antoinette, Somewhere, and The Bling Ring. The designs and silhouettes of these T-shirts appeal to all.

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO kicks off the Holiday celebration with the 11.11 nationwide sale. Customers can look forward to special offers and exclusive prices on their favorite LifeWear items.

“Few more days before UNIQLO Philippines’ 11.11 sale and I am already filling my cart with mine and my family and friends’ favorite LifeWear pieces,” shares Matteo Guidicelli, a UNIQLO fan and endorser of the brand. “I’m definitely doing my Christmas shopping at UNIQLO since it offers stylish and comfortable pieces for everyone’s everyday clothing needs.”

For his wife, Matteo’s top item is the Women’s Ultra Light Down Jacket, just in time for the cold weather. The jacket can be used as an innerwear or an outerwear and has a special lining so it’s static-free. For work, the jacket can be paired with the Women’s Rayon Skipper Collar ¾ Sleeve Blouse to add a sophisticated touch and the Women’s Smart Ankle Pants that has a two-way stretch for stress-free comfort.’

Made with soft cotton and volume for a relaxed style, the Women’s Smooth Cotton Dolman ¾ Sleeve Dress is the perfect gift for Matteo’s mom. Its’ loose-fitting cut can be layered with the Women’s HEATTECH Ultra Warm Leggings in case she gets cold this season or when she travels to a cooler destination. It uses bio-warming, insulating, and moisture-retaining features making it 2.25 times* warmer than the regular HEATTECH item.

On the other hand, Matteo is eyeing more formal pieces for his dad to wear to his meetings and special occasions. Called the Ultimate Classic Shirt, the Men’s Oxford Long Sleeve Shirt is made with special yarn to achieve a fabric with a premium feel. It is also pre-washed and pressed for a lasting elegant look that goes well with the Men’s Smart Ankle Pants (Ultra Stretch DRY-EX). This pair of pants has a clean ankle-length cut and is made with DRY-EX material that quickly dries sweat and moisture for a comfortable feel even after a full day’s work. To complete the look is the convenient and versatile Men’s Overshirt Jacket (Jersey).

For his younger brother, he’s thinking of casual looks to go with his daily errands. The Men’s Chino Shorts has a unique texture brought out by slightly brushing the high-density cotton twill material and through a special dyeing and washing process. The fit has been made looser from the thigh to the hem so it is easier to pair with oversized tops like the Men’s Uniqlo U AIRism Cotton Crew Neck Oversized T-Shirt. For slower days at home, Matteo is buying his brother the Men’s AIRism Cotton Set (Short Sleeve) which offers a top and bottom made with AIRism material with dry technology to make it extra soft and comfortable.
