Uniqlo's Sofia Coppola UT collection is going to be available in the Philippines come March
Good news to Sofia Coppola fans based in the Philippines!
The Uniqlo UT collection on her dubbed Celebrating Sofia Coppola UT collection will make its way to us in March — on March 6 specifically.
The collection is comprised of motifs from five of her most significant films over the last 25 years — "The Virgin Suicides," "Lost in Translation," "Marie Antoinette," "Somewhere," and "The Bling Empire" — printed on shirts with silhouettes that "appeal to all" and a tote bag.
"I am so happy to have this project celebrating my work and hope people will enjoy the T-shirts as a token of the films that are so much a part of my life," Sofia said in a statement.
"They are a great reminder of the collaborators I worked with and the creative experience we shared. I like to wear T-shirts of artists and musicians who I love, and in the same way wish for them to mean something to someone who likes my work. I always like how a T-shirt can connect you to other people who like the same thing you do.”
Meanwhile, Uniqlo's Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Creative Director, Takahiro Kinoshita, said in a statement that he is a fan of Coppola himself.
"I feel her charm is in her ability to create carefully layered visual expressions, as well as her overall style and way of living a dignified life. I am really happy to be collaborating with Ms. Coppola on our special film-themed UT collection."
The t-shirts and tote bag retail at P790 each. — LA, GMA Integrated News
