The UNIQLO : C 2025 Spring Summer collection launches on 28 February
The Clare Waight Keller-led UNIQLO : C range returns on 28 February with its Spring Summer 2025 assortment. The collection features elevated pieces for everyday wear, for both men and women. In addition to slide sandals and strap sandals in nylon as well as puffy shoulder bags, the ensemble includes pieces such as Bermuda pants, double-breasted jacket, hooded pullover hoodies, gathered dresses and wide-fit cargo shorts among others. This time, many of the designs are crafted using nylon for a smooth finish and light feel. Prices range from RM49.90 to RM499 — available online and at all UNIQLO stores.
Clare Waight Keller on the collection: “This Spring I wanted to embrace two key elements for the new UNIQLO : C collection. The first of which was Nylon. In recent years there has been a dominance of polyester in sportswear and daywear, it’s even used in luxury ready to wear. I wanted to return to sportswear’s roots using the cool touch and fluid finish of nylon. Working this fabric in dress volumes, soft shirting as well as running shorts and vests creates a new modernity in these shapes and a sporty feel to the silhouette. Secondly colour was a great component to play with in this fabric. The subtle softness of even the most intense orange makes for a beautiful tonal richness in these shapes.”
