Founded in 1949, Japanese retailer Uniqlo has grown to become one of the world’s most popular staples providers. While many high-street names fall into obscurity, unable to stay one step ahead of the curve, Uniqlo seems to keep up effortlessly, offering wardrobe foundations each season. Aside from the Uniqlo classics, though, is its world of collaborations. By enlisting names like JW Anderson, Christophe Lemaire, Engineered Garments, and many more, Uniqlo has positioned itself as a highly accessible gateway to the world of luxury.

The Japanese retailer’s collaborations are so popular that they even reach resale sites for those who didn’t get the chance to cop the first time around. We took a look through the archives and picked out some of our favorite pieces from past Uniqlo collaborations including Uniqlo x KAWS x Peanuts, Uniqlo x Daniel Arsham x Pokemon, and Uniqlo x Engineered Garments.
