Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the launch of the +J Spring/Summer 2021 collection in India starting March 25. This continues last season’s popular return of UNIQLO’s collaboration with legendary designer Jil Sander, who brings her signature modern style to this exceptional line for women and men. The +J Spring/Summer 2021 collection captures the sense of emerging from the darkness of winter and enjoying the energy and lightness of spring. Reduced to their purest form, sharp silhouettes display an airy clarity. “The overall idea is sophistication,” explains Jil Sander. “A kind of purity that lets us think of regeneration and a fresh start.”
Controlled sculptural tailoring emphasizes movement, lightness, and space. Thoughtful design infuses essential pieces with versatility and practicality for life outdoors. A selection of natural fibers and comfortable blends defines effortless styles with luxurious texture and sheen. Colors reflect the chromatic palette of northern light, with the indigo and ink of summer night skies in cool contrast to ivory, caramel, grey and khaki. +J continues to define the global modern uniform with purpose and meaning.
COLLECTION
Lightweight techno silk blends are the highlight of the women’s offering, from a graphic half-sleeve dress and flared skirt to a subtly refined summer parka. Exquisitely tailored in smooth SUPIMA® Cotton, the standout three-quarter length dolman sleeve shirt features a voluminous silhouette. SUPIMA® Cotton lends a soft sheen to an oversized half-sleeve T-shirt for a classy look. Exceptional tailoring also distinguishes the men’s lineup. An oversized hooded long coat with a pale grey texture displays carefully sculpted 3D volume, while a classic polo is defined by a crisp fit. Authentic selvedge denim jeans for men and women exhibit a cool, straight silhouette.
