Stylist Marina was on a shopping trip to Uniqlo recently when she came across some incredible finds. She shared her shopping haul in a post on Instagram where she boasts 261,000 followers
Uniqlo is known for its high-quality tops, jeans and accessories for adults, as well as children. The company, which first originated in Japan, is now all over the globe with 1,000 stores worldwide.
Since it focuses on quality, you know a visit to Uniqlo could never be a let-down. One woman recently took a trip to the shop and it was a true success. Stylist Marina couldn’t believe her eyes when she came across a top designer’s work at one of the Uniqlo stores in the UK. While she didn’t specify which branch she visited, she did take her Instagram followers through her haul.
In a post with her 261,000 followers, Marina was gobsmacked to find shirts and jeans designed by the new Dior Creative Director that “cost next to nothing”.
Speaking about Uniqlo’s collaboration with Jonathan W.Anderson, the new Creative Director of Dior, she added: “So basically it’s a design by the head of Dior at a mass market price.
“The shirts are well-tailored and made from natural fabric available in four colours. They have a straight cropped fit and can also be worn tucked in.
“Also the straight leg jeans also come in three colours if they’re too long you can have them shortened for free right in the store. It only took me 30 minutes.”
Anderson was announced as Dior’s new Creative Director back in January this year. In his role, he’s responsible for upholding a brand synonymous with French luxury and innovation.
It is thought the collaboration at Uniqlo has been around for sometime but Marina only just shared it with her Instagram followers with some who were buzzing about the idea.
The Irish designer first rose to fame with his own label, J.W Anderson, which broke the fashion mould with its conceptual unisex collections.
Now his line at Uniqlo has brought fisherman sweaters, oversized trench coats, and bold plaids to the masses, at decent prices.
One said: “Love this collection.” Another added: “It looks as Uniqlo as everything else there. Lovely, but still.”
Other followers pointed out it’s been around for a while and how it’s not necessarily Dior, but made by the Creative Director there.
