Uniqlo has strong form when it comes to collaborating with designers. Over the years, it has recruited some of the best in the business, from JW Anderson to Clare Waight Keller, who has recently become the high street label's creative director. Last year, the brand announced its first partnership with Anya Hindmarch, the British designer famed for her whimsical accessories. Consisting of an array of knitwear and accessories, the collection was a total smash hit, selling out rapidly. It stands to reason, therefore, that Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch can expect a similar response to the new autumn/winter 2024 offering.
Launching on 21st November, this new collection features three hero knits – including a cashmere jumper – a Puffertech jacket and a range of winter-saving accessories, all bearing Hindmarch's signature eyes motif. This being Uniqlo, the pieces don't just look good, they're practical, too; most of the accessories feature Uniqlo's infamous Heattech for maximum warmth, while the tote bag packs down into a tiny pouch.
'I’ve loved collaborating with Uniqlo again,' said Hindmarch, 'working with their iconic knits and outerwear. Once again, we’ve played with their silhouettes; deconstructing and then rebuilding them with darning stitches, knitted-in patches, and unexpected details, creating special designs, always with a touch of fun.'
What's available in the Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch 2024 collection?
In terms of womenswear, there are two jumpers, one crafted from Merino wool (available in four colours) and one that's 100% cashmere (available in five colours). There's also an oversized Merino V-neck cardigan (available in four colours), as well as a a Puffertech jacket available in olive green or navy. Accessories include Heattech scarves, gloves, hats and socks, as well as a cashmere beanie and the packable tote bag.
There are some children's pieces, too, including a mini version of the Puffertech jacket. There's also a Merino crew neck jumper, a knitted cap and Heattech socks.
