With the second Gap x Victoria Beckham still fresh in our minds, another of our favourite designer and high street collaborations from spring is back. This time Uniqlo has once again joined forces with Cecilie Bahnsen for a winter collection.
The Copenhagen label is known for its romantic dresses, sculptural silhouettes, and puffed sleeves that bring together the traditions of fine French fashion and Scandinavia's design culture.
In May, the collection was filled with frills, shirring and floral appliques – this time around, the capsule has given cool girl Scandi style a cosy makeover, in colour palettes inspired by Nordic winters.
Starting from £7.90, the 14-piece collection reflects Uniqlo’s affordable price points. Standout items include a fleece dotted with flower motifs and a draw-string waist (£39.90, Uniqlo.com) , a sheer long sleeve top that elevates winter layering (£19.90, Uniqlo.com) and a fleece skirt that features curved hems and a gathered waist (£34.90, Uniqlo.com).
Talking about the new collection, Cecilie Bahnsen said: “I'm very excited that for this second collaboration with Uniqlo we have been able to create a collection themed around fleece, which is attracting renewed attention. Fluffy, warm fleece has a certain nostalgic charm, and for me, it's a staple item essential for the season.
“This collection expresses femininity that women and girls of all ages can enjoy. I hope everyone will delight in the charms of the collection through layering and free styling."
Available from 8am on 26 November, I’ll be bringing you my thoughts on what to buy as I try on the collection before it goes live.
