A Sporting Way of Life for Spring/Summer 2023

Collaboration line modernizes classic British university sportswear

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the March 24 launch of A Sporting Way of Life collection from UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON. The Spring/Summer 2023 range continues to reinterpret quintessential British style through JW ANDERSON’s elegant and playful lens, taking inspiration from the traditional sports of British universities.

Creative Director Jonathan Anderson commented that, “This season reworks our idea of classic sportswear, such as a traditional cricket cardigan alongside sports leggings or hand-drawn traditional British sporting team motifs on utility shorts and more traditional knitted polo shirts.”

Comfortable and functional preppy styling

A Sporting Way of Life redraws classic sportswear. A good example is the women’s Cricket Cardigan with athletic uniform-inspired lines, in a light cotton-linen blend that is comfortably cool, as well as women’s and men’s AirSense* Blazers, which feature for the first time in the collaboration line. The collection reimagines these iconic British preppy items in the innovative lightweight, stretchy, quick-dry fabric, finished with the original JW ANDERSON logo button.

Designed to double as sportswear

Several items also double as sportwear. These include a tennis-inspired Pleated Mini Skirt, Leggings, in the soft, quick-drying fabric of “AIRism”, and Cropped Bra Sleeveless Top, and a UV Protection Parka in lightweight nylon, with JW ANDERSON offbeat color blocking.

*AirSense (formerly known as Kando) is a stretchable, lightweight, and quick-drying high-performance fabric that incorporate the functionality of sportswear.

About JW ANDERSON

The success of this debut collection earned both critical acclaim and commercial success for Anderson, whose label is now regarded as one of London’s most innovative and forward-thinking brands. UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON first launched in 2017 Fall/Winter.
