UNIQLO to launch tennis apparel collection, based on Novak Djokovic's grand slam match wear


UNIQLO today announce the launch of the highly anticipated Novak Djokovic replica match wear for men. The collections, modeled on his last four Grand Slam tournament kits, will launch exclusively online on Thursday 23rd May at www.uniqlo.com/uk.

UNIQLO has been the exclusive designer of tournament match wear for Novak Djokovic since he became a UNIQLO Global brand ambassador in May 2012. Starting with the 2012 French Open, Novak Djokovic has now competed at all four Grand Slam tournaments wearing match wear created by UNIQLO, including his recent triumph at the 2013 Australian Open. UNIQLO Design director Naoki Takizawa worked extremely closely with Novak Djokovic to develop tennis apparel that matches his uncompromising standards of performance excellence.

The collections feature wristbands, socks, t-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, track jackets and trousers, with prices starting from £7.90 for socks to £79.90 for a warm up jacket.

Roland Garros 2013 match wear UNIQLO will also launch the Novak Djokovic replica match wear for this year’s Roland Garros tournament on Thursday 23 May exclusively online, allowing customers to purchase the collection two days before Novak Djokovic wears it on court. Djokovic will reveal the collection in the UNIQLO flagship store in Opera, Paris on May 23rd.

The collection will be available at uniqlo.com from May 23rd.

UNIQLO to launch tennis apparel collection, based on Novak Djokovic's grand slam match wearPerformance wear modeled on Djokovic’s kit for the 2012 French Open Inspired by the Tricolor, the national flag of France, UNIQLO created Djokovic’s match wear kit for the first time for the 2012 French Open. The design team also drew inspiration from the famous red clay courts of Roland Garros and Djokovic’s deep affection for the host country.







UNIQLO to launch tennis apparel collection, based on Novak Djokovic's grand slam match wearPerformance wear modeled on Djokovic’s kit for Wimbledon 2012 The design for Djokovic’s Wimbledon match wear comes from the necktie he received after winning his first Wimbledon title in 2011. The purple and dark green stripes of this prized necktie were subtly incorporated into Djokovic’s match whites as a sign of his appreciation for this gift and his pride as defending men’s singles champion.







UNIQLO to launch tennis apparel collection, based on Novak Djokovic's grand slam match wearPerformance wear modeled on Djokovic’s kit for the 2012 U.S. Open
In tribute to the host country, Djokovic’s kit for the 2012 US Open featured red and navy blue as base colours - two of the primary colours of the American flag. The asymmetric colour lines around the sides and over the right-hand shoulder, also a feature of the design for Djokovic’s French Open match wear, accentuate his superbly dynamic serving action.







UNIQLO to launch tennis apparel collection, based on Novak Djokovic's grand slam match wearPerformance wear modeled on Djokovic’s kit for the 2013 Australian Open
Marking the start of his partnership with UNIQLO’s corporate social responsibility program, Djokovic personally selected green for the 2013 Australian Open replica match wear to highlight awareness for ecological and environmental causes.





High performance functional match wear
UNIQLO’s tennis apparel for Djokovic features innovative, high-performance features worthy of the world’s top-ranked men’s singles tennis player. With Novak Djokovic performance wear, UNIQLO customers can enjoy the same high-spec features as Djokovic across the entire collection.

DRY-EX polo shirts
UNIQLO created this great line of DRY-EX Polo Shirts to provide the ultimate in on-court comfort. The body and collar are made with DRY-EX, an exceptionally sweat-absorbent and quick-drying fabric that UNIQLO developed with partner Toray Industries. The attention to detail in the design of DRY-EX Polo Shirts extends to the collar's zipper, which is lined with DRY-EX piping for extra comfort.

DRY shorts
UNIQLO’s DRY Shorts absorb and dry perspiration quickly. The pockets are lined with pile fabric to allow players to easily wipe perspiration off their palms and securely stow away second-serve balls. The shorts feature a wide band combining flat rubber strips and flat strings in the waist. This design means that the area where the gathers are in contact with the body covers a broad strip rather than a narrow band, offering greater comfort.

Track jackets
The combination of exceptional off-court comfort and a classic slim-fitting silhouette makes the Track Jacket a great choice for a wide range of sports. The hems and sleeve cuffs are made of a thin, close-fitting material, instead of conventional ribbing, for a snugger fit. The jackets also feature the ‘breakaway zipper,’ allowing the jacket to be taken off in one swift move. The Track Jacket is made from light, dry fabric with anti-bacterial and anti-odor properties.

Warm-up jacket and trousers
Ideal for warming up on court or for simply staying warm ahead of a match, the Warm-up Jacket and trousers are made with high density materials that have water-repellent properties. The jacket has stretchy cuffs that offer a snug fit and makes changing easy. The drawstring for tightening the jacket hem is designed so that it can be discreetly stowed away inside the pockets. The zippers fitted on the pant hems are designed not to move and distract.

Novak Djokovic to launch 2013 Wimbledon match wear collection in store on Tuesday 18th June at 7pm

UNIQLO today announce the global exclusive launch of the 2013 Wimbledon Novak Djokovic replica match wear for men. The collection, modeled on his imminent tournament kit, will launch exclusively in the UK on Tuesday 18 June at 7pm*. Novak Djokovic himself will be in the flagship store (311 Oxford Street) to officially unveil the collection and meet and greet fans. *The Wimbledon store will begin selling from 10am on Wednesday 19 June due to trading hours.

The collection launches exclusively in UNIQLO 311 Oxford Street, UNIQLO Wimbledon and online from 7pm a week before the tournament starts and Djokovic himself will be wearing it on court.

UNIQLO has been the exclusive designer of tournament match wear for Novak Djokovic since he became a UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador in May 2012. Starting with the 2012 French Open, Novak Djokovic has now competed at all four Grand Slam tournaments wearing match wear created by UNIQLO, including his recent triumph at the 2013 Australian Open. UNIQLO Design Director Naoki Takizawa worked extremely closely with Novak Djokovic to develop tennis apparel that matches his uncompromising standards of performance excellence.

On all of his match wear collections, Novak Djokovic commented:
Complementing their functionality and comfort, the designs for all of the match wear are inspired by the different venues for the Grand Slam tournaments I have played so far.

For France 2013, the bright peppermint green created a striking contrast against Roland Garros’ red clay, and created a real presence on the court. At the same time, for the UK, the Wimbledon model is a simple white. I played a role in helping develop them, and really like both.

The match wear is the result of extensive discussions with UNIQLO design director Mr. Takizawa, and his team. It has been really exciting and fun working with them, and I appreciate their effort in making my vision a reality.

The match wear is not only really comfortable, but also highly-functional. It is stretchy, and quickly absorbs perspiration, so that I can focus on my game.

After the success of the Spring / Summer 2013 collection, UNIQLO are pleased to announce the return of Celia Birtwell for the Fall / Winter season. Launching into all stores on Thursday 22nd August, the collection features 100% silk dresses, shirts, and scarves, long sleeve t-shirts, and a line of HEATTECH t-shirts.

The collection features some of Celia’s most renowned and iconic prints that have been re-scaled and re-worked especially for UNIQLO. Combining Celia’s globally recognised textile prints and Japanese innovation in fabric technology and quality, the collection targets style conscious women of all ages while keeping them warm throughout the winter months.

Celia said on her second collection for UNIQLO:
I am so thrilled to be doing a second collection with Uniqlo. I love to see the prints on various fabrics, and to have silk dresses and headscarves this time is so chic. I am delighted with the results.

For the silk pieces, UNIQLO have used the highest quality 5A and 6A grade silk. The silk holds natural amino acids, similar to the composition of human skin, making the pieces offer exceptional comfort and warmth by mirroring it’s functions.

The Celia Birtwell HEATTECH line up sees the return of UNIQLO’s revolutionary winter warmer. Engineered for warmth, HEATTECH is designed with a proprietary rayon-rich blend of fibres developed by TORAY Industries. Rayon fibres naturally retain and lock in heat within the tiny air pockets created between them, allowing you to wear less in winter.

The collection launches in all UNIQLO UK stores and online on Thursday 22nd August priced from £12.90 for a HEATTECH t-shirt or long sleeve tee, to £69.90 for the long sleeve silk dress.

UNIQLO launches exclusively designed Orla Kiely HEATTECH collection


UNIQLO are proud to announce their third collaboration with Irish designer Orla Kiely for the fall winter season. After the sell out success of the last two collections, Orla’s bold colourful prints will once again feature on an exclusive collection of women’s HEATTECH v-neck and rollneck t-shirts.

The collection has been exclusively designed for UNIQLO using never before seen prints and colourways. Orla said on the collection:

"With the idea of a ‘happy winter’ in mind, I have created a joyful burst of prints inspired by a living winter forest with all its flora and fauna. The designs visualise falling leaves and dragonflies dancing in the light, squirrels, little robins, mistletoe and brambles. I used a palette of rich jewel-like colours such as emerald and amethyst and autumnal hues of amber and ruby combined to lift and enhance the true spirit of winter".

The collection combines classic British design with Japanese quality and innovative fabrics. HEATTECH is designed to keep you warm while wearing less in winter. It is designed with a proprietary rayon-rich blend of fibres developed by TORAY Industries. Rayon fibres naturally retain and lock in heat within the tiny air pockets created between them. Moisture retention is achieved in the fabric by blending it with milk protein that contains natural amino acids. UNIQLO have added camellia oil for the first time this year to improve the second skin natural feeling of HEATTECH.

UNIQLO will be hosting a Google+ hangout with Orla on the evening of Wednesday 30 October which can be watched live here. Questions for Orla can be sent in advance via twitter to @UNIQLO_UK.

The collection features eight different designs in 16 colour-ways across v-neck and roll-neck long sleeve t-shirts. All designs will launch exclusively online on Monday 28 October, then in all UNIQLO stores on Thursday 31 October.

The term ‘LifeWear’ was first introduced by UNIQLO globally at the launch of the 2013 fall and winter collection, and it reflects the company’s unique design approach, focused on the customer.

Rather than dictating styles or following trends, UNIQLO aims to provide clothing that is innovative, universal in design, and of high quality. LifeWear is about offering clothing that promotes comfort and enriches lives, allowing customers to create their own individual style.

Commenting on today’s announcement, UNIQLO Design Director Naoki Takizawa said, “The LifeWear 2014 spring and summer collection promotes comfort and individual style. AIRism and BRATOP products offer superior functionality, while items made from Linen and Supima® Cotton maximize the inherent features of these high quality natural fabrics. Core basics are back, such as Jeans and Polo shirts, with new designs and updated features.”

The 2014 spring and summer collection will showcase a special line of women’s clothing that has been designed in collaboration with Ines de la Fressange, a fashion icon and true global ambassador of Parisian chic. Through this collaboration, UNIQLO wishes to offer products reflecting elements of Parisian style. The new line will be co-branded with INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS and will be available in a selection of UNIQLO stores worldwide. Naoki Takizawa added:

“We talked regularly with Ines and exchanged views on a number of subjects including fabrics, design, and fitting. Ines’ own lifestyle and approach to fashion closely mirror UNIQLO’s LifeWear, and I am very pleased to be launching the new line that we have created together.”

UNIQLO today also announces that it has appointed NIGO - innovator in the street fashion scene and founder of A BATHING APE® - as its first Creative Director for the company’s UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) brand and product category. The LifeWear 2014 spring and summer collection includes a variety of UT designs for men, women and kids.

The LifeWear 2014 spring and summer collection will preview in Paris at the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild on November 20, followed by similar events in New York and Tokyo. Details regarding the New York and Tokyo press previews will be announced at a later date.

Ines de la Fressange
Born within an old aristocratic family, Ines de la Fressange grew up in the south of France before finishing her studies in Paris and making her debut in the fashion industry.

Ines started her career as an international Top Model in 1975, quickly walking the most famous catwalks, and she was declared Chanel’s star model from 1983 until 1990. A true fashion icon from then on, she was chosen in 1989 to become the symbol of the French Republic and the face of the Marianne statue.

In parallel to her international modeling career, Ines pursued activities as a designer, journalist, author and consultant for various fashion and lifestyle luxury brands. For the past 10 years she has been the luxury shoemaker Roger Vivier’s brand ambassador, and since 2010 she has been a member of L’Oréal’s “Dream Team.” Her book entitled Parisian Chic has become an international success, with more than 1 million copies sold in 17 different languages, and it has sealed her authority as “the most Parisian of Parisians.”

In 2013 Ines decided to relaunch her own brand, INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS, where she acts as artistic director-at-large and is personally involved in the brand’s overall direction and strategy. INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS is a luxury Parisian lifestyle brand that offers access to the real Parisian way of life, through a choice of products that cover every step of a woman’s life, from ready-to-wear to interior decoration.

Ines has collaborated with UNIQLO for the first time to create a specially designed line of women’s clothing as part of the UNIQLO LifeWear 2014 Spring and Summer Collection. This new line will be co-branded with INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS and will be available in a selection of UNIQLO stores worldwide.

Fall / Winter '13 - Kiko Mizuhara is the face for UNIQLO's HEATTECH


Model and actress Kiko Mizuhara features as the 2013 face of our women's HEATTECH range - blurring the lines between function and fashion.

HEATTECH is a technical revolution and evolution to produce clothing which feels like a second skin; crossing the borders of innerwear and outerwear for both Men and Women. The starting point of HEATTECH was to produce thermal under garments and expand this premise to be a mini wardrobe of its own. HEATTECH comprises a smooth, fine feel with incredible comfort as well as technical advances in material manufacture - which is easy for women to wear and layer into a multitude of looks.

In our official HEATTECH video, Kiko talks through how she discovered HEATTECH and the different situations in which she wears it. Kiko also showcases several different styles, showing just how easy it is for women to HEATTECH into their everyday styles.
