The magazine will be available from August 25
UNIQLO, the renowned global apparel retailer, is delighted to introduce the arrival of the 2023 Fall/Winter edition of the LifeWear magazine (Issue 09) on Friday, August 25. Serving as a free publication, LifeWear magazine embodies UNIQLO’s philosophy of LifeWear, aiming to enhance the comfort and quality of people’s everyday lives. The theme of Issue 09 for the Fall/Winter season is “Modern Layering” with a dedicated focus on the art of layering clothing. The issue delves into the creative possibilities that emerge from skillfully combining fundamental pieces to achieve a limitless range of fashion expressions.
Sharing his insights, Takahiro Kinoshita, Group Executive Vice President and Creative Director of Fast Retailing, remarked: “Every UNIQLO garment features a simple design that can be effortlessly embraced by anyone. However, the magic lies in the art of combining these pieces, creating an ensemble with boundless potential. Clothing itself may not possess a distinct character, yet it has the remarkable ability to highlight the individuality of the wearer. This underscores the significance of how clothing is worn. In the pages of this edition of LifeWear magazine, our focus shifts to layering. We present elegant color layering that revolves around the trending shades of gray and navy for this fall, alongside practical layered ensembles showcasing the timeless HEATTECH, which this year commemorates 20 years since its launch, as well as the ever-versatile Ultra Light Down. This issue ignites our anticipation for the cooler season ahead, allowing us to revel in the art of layering.”
