Tomas Maia, Creative Director at the Italian luxury lifestyle brand Bottega Veneta, collaborates with Uniqlo for a resort wear collection that will be launching in Singapore on 18th May.
The Tomas Maier X Uniqlo resort collection is perfect for our hot and sunny Singapore, and fuses Tomas Maier's “time off” and “escape” philosophy with Uniqlo’s commitment to create high-quality clothing that is universal in design and comfort that is made for everyone, everywhere. The collection helps people get away from it all, whether relaxing at a resort or winding down after a busy day at work.
Tomas Maier said, “Our new collection is designed to work in many different ways. Beach attire can turn into lounge wear, casual cover-ups paired with polo shirts can easily be worn in town - this is the concept of my brand. Things work in many ways. Even if bought for a special trip or occasion the customer will soon discover these garments adapt to a year-round life.”
Yuki Katsuta, Group Senior Vice President of Fast Retailing and Head of Global R&D at UNIQLO, commented that, “We have been delighted to collaborate with Tomas Maier in creating this exciting new LifeWear range. I am sure people will love mixing and matching pieces from our first resort wear collection, adding a splash of summer fun to everyday living, weekends, and vacation travel.”
The collection features orange, yellow, and other hues inspired by the sun-kissed splendour of Florida, where Tomas Maier originated, as well as the brand’s iconic palm tree motif. The women’s line includes dresses, camisoles, a polo sweater, and swimwear that are practical and at the same time stylish. Featuring navy, black, and khaki, the men’s range offers coordination flexibility with a range of jackets, T-shirts, polo shirts, and easy pants that double as smart swimwear.
The Tomas Maier and Uniqlo line keeps wearers looking and feeling cool and comfortable in innovative fabrics, notably AIRism for jackets and polo shirts, Extra Fine Cotton for shirts, Supima Cotton for T-shirts, and 100% cashmere for summer knit.
The full collection will be available at UNIQLO Orchard Central (Global Flagship Store), Suntec City and online at www.uniqlo.com/sg, while selected items will be available at selected stores including Bugis+ and Jem. Prices range from $14.90 for a pair of Women’s Swim Shorts to $129.90 for a Men’s Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater.
