The year 2024 is set to usher in a new era of fashion, as Finnish design house Marimekko and Japanese apparel retailer Uniqlo have announced the launch of their collaboration collection.
Slated for release in January next year, the Uniqlo x Marimekko 2024 New Year Limited-Edition Collection aims to celebrate warmth and joy for the New Year. This is achieved by combining Marimekko’s expertise in printmaking with Uniqlo’s simple and comfortable LifeWear clothing.
The capsule collection features Marimekko’s signature print designs: Kivet, Kissapöllö, and Seireeni by Maija Isola, as well as Pentti Rinta’s Hattara. These are Nordic-inspired designs echoing a “serene winter” with muted gold, timeless black, and pearl gray hues.
The collection also includes fleece skirts, a mini shoulder bag, and long sleeve jackets, plus turtlenecks and socks that use Uniqlo’s HEATTECH technology, designed for ultimate comfort and warmth. These items are available in women’s and kids' sizes.
Commenting on the collaboration, Yukihiro Katsuta, head of research and development at Uniqlo, said in a press release, “The collection is designed to be enjoyed with family and friends and is perfect for staying warm. I hope everyone can enjoy this special collection available for a limited time only.”
The Uniqlo x Marimekko 2024 New Year Limited-Edition Collection is available via Uniqlo’s website and stores globally beginning January. To view the full collection, visit Uniqlo and Marimekko’s websites.
