UNIQLO and KAWS are excited to launch KAWS WINTER, a special knitwear collection that marks a new chapter in their creative partnership. Available in Australian stores and online from today Thursday, May 21, the collection brings KAWS’ playful sensibility to UNIQLO’s core winter essentials for the first time.
Where past collaborations have focused on casual cut-and-sew pieces, KAWS WINTER moves into knitwear, cashmere and lambswool, sweaters for adults, Souffle Yarn knits for kids, and a full accessories range featuring HEATTECH beanies, scarves and gloves. Each piece carries either KAWS’ signature XX motif or his iconic COMPANION character as an embroidery accent, set against a colour-block palette of red, green and yellow.
“For my first collection as UNIQLO’s Artist in Residence, I’m pleased to be expanding our partnership into working with their knitwear. I love the sweaters they make and wanted to make a collection of everyday basics to get you through the winter months.”— KAWS
The adults’ range spans two sweater styles — a premium cashmere crew neck and a softer lambswool option — alongside knitted accessories with HEATTECH warmth technology. The kids’ lineup features coordinating Souffle Yarn sweaters, caps, mittens and neck warmers, making it easy to put together a complete winter look.
The collection is designed to be gifted as much as worn, with UNIQLO positioning these knitwear pieces as a way to stay connected with loved ones through the colder months.
Available in UNIQLO stores across Australia and online at www.uniqlo.com/au/en from May 21.
