A first look at Jil Sander x Uniqlo collection

Since the news of a new collaboration between Jil Sander and Uniqlo spread last August, 11 years after their first capsule together, the hype around the new collection has increased more and more. Finally, we can take a peek at the UNIQLO +J' s lookbook, discovering how the retailer's Japanese approach to design, which has always offered consumers timeless, classic products, reworks the German designer's sophisticated and minimalist heritage. The result is a series of 38 pieces for women and 35 for men set to become essentials in our closet, as both partners said:

Inspired by a sense of enlightened understatement, the collection consists of versatile, iconic pieces. Detailed tailoring and sculptural shapes lead to balanced proportions, comfort and ease. Distinct lines give definition to moving panels and dynamic 3D silhouettes. Volumes, while generous, leave room for individuality.

The collection remains faithful to Jil Sander's clean aesthetic, offering a wide range of minimalist items: cashmere crew neck sweaters in a palette of colors ranging from black and white to cream and burgundy; classic striped or total white shirts; wool-blend pants; cashmere caps; scarves, down jackets; coats and parkas.
