GLOBAL apparel retailer Uniqlo has released the Spring/Summer 2026 edition of Uniqlo: C, a collaboration line designed by British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, with select pieces now available in the Philippines.
The new collection, described as “Refined for the Everyday,” centers on relaxed tailoring and soft fabrics intended for daily wear. It will be offered in select stores and through the brand’s Philippine website, with some items available across all branches nationwide.
Waight Keller, who joined Uniqlo as creative director in September 2024, said the latest lineup focuses on comfort as much as appearance, blending ease of movement with structured silhouettes.
“I wanted to focus on how clothes feel as much as how they look. Comfort comes through in the softness of the fabrics and the ease of the cuts, creating an urban wardrobe designed to move naturally through everyday life,” she said in a statement.
“There’s a strong unisex spirit, with styling built around fluid layering and a palette of colors that naturally complement each other. A subtle sense of play runs through the collection, built around modern essentials designed to mix easily and create an urban chic wardrobe. The introduction of sunglasses adds a final, personal touch — completing the silhouette and allowing each look to be styled in an individual way,” she added.
Color, fabric and everyday wear
The seasonal palette includes powder lilac and sky blue tones, contrasted with brighter pieces such as a red knit top. The collection features cotton dresses with structured sleeves and clip belt details, satin sets, Milano ribbed knits and viscose knit T-shirts designed for warm weather.
Women’s items total 16 pieces, including outerwear priced from P1,990 to P4,990, dresses from P1,990 to P2,490, and knitwear ranging from P1,490 to P2,490. Men’s offerings include five pieces, with outerwear priced up to P6,990.
Accessories expand with sunglasses
For the first time, the Uniqlo: C line introduces sunglasses, equipped with UV400 lenses that block 99 percent of ultraviolet rays. The accessory lineup also includes retro-style sneakers, deck shoes and an ultra-light tote bag.
Sunglasses are priced at P1,490, while shoes range from P1,990 to P2,990 and bags are priced at P1,490.
Waight Keller previously served as creative director at luxury fashion houses in London and Paris and was named Womenswear Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards in 2018.
