Uniqlo T-shirts in Canada!

I'm such a big fan - very excited that Uniqlo t-shirt (UT) is now available in Canada! It launched last month and is available at both the Eaton Centre & Yorkdale. Now, I won't have to ask my friends from aboard to get them for me.

UT - are carefully selecting pop art from around the world. In its 10th season, UTs have become central to Uniqlo's LifeWear approach by emotionally engaging with people. Their internationally beloved content simply and directly conveys the individuality and moods of wearers.

I LOVE graphic t-shirts! (I even created my own line, Hello! Stuff by David Chiu - you can check them out here.) UTs are the best - they're fun & I love their selections of pop culture icons; stuff like Disney, Marvel and Pixar just to name a few.

There's also the SPRZ NY Uniqlo t-shirt - a collaboration with MoMa. The SPRZ NY (Surprise New York) collection aims to disseminate examples of stunning artistic inspiration around the world. For the Spring Summer 2017 season, the collection features prints inspired by the work of, my favourites, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jen-Michel Basquiat. It also features geometric patterns inspired by the work of Sol LeWitt, Francois Morellet, Max Bill and Gertrud Goldschmidt.

Will you be picking up some UT?

Stuff I Wore - Uniqlo Ultra Light Down

Even though winter doesn't officially arrive until Dec. 21, Toronto had already gotten plenty of snow and some very COLD days.

To keep me warm this winter, I picked up the Ultra Light Down Parka. Definitely a winter essential. It's comfy & extremely lightweight! There are a few colours to choose from - I went with my fav, green.

Not only does it keeps me warm but also stylish at the same time : ) I like that it's compact, sleek looking and not bulky. It has simple, sporty design details, with easy-to-operate zipper pull and zippered hip pockets. Plus the glossy shell adds even more sporty style.

 Some more great facts about the Ultra Light Down:
• High collar to block out the cold
• Premium down provides excellent insulation and superb warmth
• Lined with heat retaining aluminum - trap heat inside the garment
• Water repellent
• Comes with a storage pouch for convenient portability

I'm a fan of Uniqlo and in this 'Stuff I Wore' post, I'd be featuring some items from Uniqlo - jeans and the hoodie.

I love hoodies in general and now had added another one to my collection. This white Dry Stretch Long Sleeve Sweat Full-zip Hoodie is part of Uniqlo's active line. It's super soft and comfy - perfect for layering and for the Fall season! The hoodie features: Fiber technology that quickly absorbs and dries moisture. Perspiration dries up instantly, so the fabric remains dry and refreshing.

Uniqlo offers a wide selections of denim. This is actually my very first pair of jeans from Uniqlo. I'm not sure what took me so long. They are great, super comfy and I absolutely love the fit! I went with the Stretch Selvedge Skinny Fit Tapered jeans style.

Stuff I Wore - UNIQLO X KAWS Tshirts

I'm super excited that Uniqlo will finally be opening here in Toronto this September at the Eaton Centre & also at Yorkdale later in the fall.

My fav from the collection.

If you're a fan of Uniqlo, I'm sure you heard of the UT line (Uniqlo-tshirt). Their latest collaboration was with New York based artist KAWS. Artist Brian Donnelly's distinct pop-infused and animated designs were used on tshirts, tote bags and room shoes.

  

When it was first released in early Spring 2016, the collections was an instant hit - it was quickly sold out both online and in-stores (in the US)! Luckily, Uniqlo relaunced the collection offering a second chance for those who weren't able to get their hands on any of the items.

Click here to view the whole Uniqlo X KAWS collection. They're actually on sale now : )

Thanks to my friend Teresa, she was able to help me get four of my fav ones from the collection all the way from Taiwan! Take a look below to see how I wore them.
