Like a piece of art made wearable, UNIQLO returns with its second collaboration with Finnish design house, Marimekko for a winter collection of unique proportions. The difference is the addition of styles for girls and babies designed in Marimekko’s signature patterns while utilising the versatility of UNIQLO’s designs.
For those of you that don’t know, Marimekko is a renown Finnish design house celebrated for its bold patterns and colours. They have been around since 1951 and is known to be one of the first lifestyles brands offering fashion, accessories and home decor. This is their second collection with UNIQLO after a successful drop of a Spring/Summer collection in 2018.
Vivid Versatile Selection
The bright geometric prints can be seen on UNIQLO’s popular LifeWear pieces featuring cashmere, Ultra Light Down and HEATTECH that make their winter wear effective against frigid weather. Stay stylish and warm in versatile pieces like tunics, turtlenecks, dresses and pants. Accessories come in the form of striking knitted scarves, mittens and caps. HEATTECH items begin at RM24.90 while padded coats go up to RM499.90.
The kidswear sees bright coloured dresses and outerwear that can be layered with knitted tights and scarves. For your bouncing baby, you can style them in a selection of one-piece outfits plus some t-shirt and legging sets for your toddler. The stand out outerwear pieces for the kids and babies are fully padded while accessories like the knitted scarves and mitten feature UNIQLO’s signature HEATTECH technology to fully shelter your children from the cold. Shop from RM24.90 with outerwear going up to RM149.90.
Popping In Prints
The star of this collection is Marimekko’s recognizable prints such as the Kivet (stones), Tasaraita (stripes), and Seireeni (siren) that play with abstract florals, stripes and polka dots. You’ll be dazzled by the colour palette that showcases the rich shades of forest green, red, and purple. These unique motifs make for a chic winter wardrobe and cute enough to be designed into a fun yet functional kidswear.
