Newly appointed as Dior Homme’s creative director after an eleven year stint as Louis Vuitton’s men’s artistic director, Kim Jones has joined forces with Uniqlo’s affordable sibling, GU, for a limited capsule collection of streetwear-inspired clothing and accessories.
Eager shoppers got a taste of the collection this week with a pop-up at Dover Street Market Ginza but the full collection hits GU stores across Japan starting March 21. Look forward to denim jackets with fun animated badges to oversized tees and sweat tops with various photos on the front such as Jones’s favourite monkey, the 'douc langur'. Accessories include printed slip-on sneakers and shower slides to fanny packs and a few jewellery pieces.
Fashionistas ready to cop items from the collection should know that purchases are limited to a maximum of two of each item, so supplies can feed shoppers as long as the collection is out. For more information on the collab, visit here.
