If you're anything like us, when it comes to high street shopping there is nothing more exciting than a designer collaboration. And since Uniqlo revealed their next partnership was to be with Clare Waight Keller, we've been wish-listing our must-shop items from the 35-piece capsule collection.
Today, Clare Waight Keller's Uniqlo : C Autumn Winter collection has landed on site, serving up the dreamiest elevation to your cold-weather wardrobe. So, it's only fair we share everything we know (including a few snippets from our day spent catching up with the designer in Paris).
ICYMI, Keller is already one of the most influential women in the fashion industry – though her reach now is set to go stellar. The British-born designer boasts successful stints at the helm of both Chloé and Givenchy and was behind Meghan Markle's timelessly chic wedding dress.
Having won Womenswear Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2018, awarded on the night by none other that Meghan Markle herself, Clare Waight Keller went on to be named one of the most influential people of 2019 at TIME Magazine's TIME 100 Awards.
And now Clare Waight Keller's Uniqlo : C collection carries all the hallmarks of her high fashion background with the added bonus of happily accessible price-tags. We're thrilled.
As the collection was unveiled in all it's glory in a penthouse apartment in Paris with twinkling Eiffel tower views, of course, and a Japanese-influence cocktail menu, GLAMOUR sat down with Clare to exclusively hear how the collaboration came about, her inspiration and what she believes is missing from today's shopping experience…
Why did you want to work with Uniqlo?
“Anything to do with Japan, I love… and (high fashion) now feels so expensive the idea of offering a sense of style and design at a great price, feels really refreshing.”
