One of the largest retail apparel company from Japan, Uniqlo and its Indonesian distributor are brining back pieces from +J, its highly successful collaboration with German designer Jil Sander. A Uniqlo spokesperson confirmed that Sander is not involved in the re-release. However, those who missed out on Uniqlo‘s collection will now have another chance to get their hands on choice pieces from the past five seasons, beginning with the fall and winter 2009 collection. These will include the button-down shirt, wool sweaters and coats, down jackets, and parkas.
The +J collection was revered for the way the pieces could help create a uniform for any individual—Sander’s main goal when designing the pieces—and each of the items being reissued are essential building blocks for anyone’s closet. Although they are basic garments, the strength of the collection is in its precise tailoring, unique textiles, and contemporary silhouettes. The full collection is available now only at their Lotte Shopping Avenue and Grand Indonesia store. To see the whole selection of “The Best of +J”, please see the official catalog here.
