More Promotional Photos of Isabeli Fontana in Jil Sander's +J Line for Uniqlo
Tue, 08/25/09 — 04:18:16 PM
>> Uniqlo has just set up a website for Jil Sander's +J line, with a list of individual price points and a few more of those David Sims-lensed promotional photos featuring Isabeli Fontana than we've seen before. There have been plenty of photos of the line — which runs $19.50-$149.50 and is out Oct. 1 — lying flat, but it's always nice to see how they lay on the body. The site also features the mantra: "Open the future / Luxury will be simplicity. / Purity in design, beauty, and comfort for all. / Quality for the people. / Basics are the common language. / The future is here: +J."

Thu, 08/13/09 — 10:05:24 AM
>> Earlier this week, we got our first look at Jil Sander's +J Uniqlo collection, but no specific drop date or price information. Finally, Uniqlo is getting more specific: the line will be in UK and US stores on Oct. 1 and in Asia on Oct. 2, and expect prices to run $19.50 for a stretch t-shirt to $149.50 for a Chesterfield coat.
The Cut has lots more pictures of unseen pieces from the line, and to the left is the collection's campaign, shot by David Sims and featuring Isabeli Fontana.
First Look: Jil Sander's +J Line for Uniqlo
Mon, 08/10/09 — 12:08:01 PM
>> It's the moment we've been waiting for: a peek at Jil Sander's return to fashion. Vogue has the first look of her +J line for Uniqlo, full of "masculine shirts with tiny, crisp collars; cuffed flannel pants; blazers with collar straps so they can be worn snugly buttoned up; and coats — many, many coats; . . . teeny-tiny cotton skirts; . . . legging-pants," in cotton, wool, or nylon.
The palette sticks to gray, black, and khaki, "with the occasional splash of purple or pink," and although we're hearing the line is 140 pieces and hitting stores in October with prices starting at around $25, Vogue says the prices haven't been finalized — although nothing will be over $149.50 — and as for a store date, "Fall is all Uniqlo wants to say."

>> Jil Sander's Collection for Uniqlo Officially Has a Name —We've known since March that Jil Sander is re-entering the fashion world after five years by overseeing men's and women's wear at Uniqlo, but details further than that have been sparse. No word on how long her contract is or when the first of her labors will appear in stores, but the collection does finally have a name, +J, and a logo, at left. [WWD]
