JAKARTA - The development of fashion trends now prioritizes the balance between aesthetics and comfort. No wonder collections with timeless designs are now increasingly in demand.
Fashion lovers are now not only looking for stylish clothes, but also items that are easy to wear for various daily activities without losing personal character in dressing.
This is also seen from the latest collection of Spring/Summer 2026 with the theme "Shapes of Poetry" from UNIQLO which collaborates with Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen.
Cecilie Bahnsen is previously known as one of the influential names in the global fashion industry thanks to her feminine, romantic, and modern design style.
After studying at the Royal College of Art, London, he worked at a number of famous fashion houses before founding his own label in 2015. Cecilie is now known for her poetic silhouettes, handcrafted details, and design approach that combines couture with comfort for everyday wear.
In this collection, he brings Cecilie Bahnsen's signature elevated design and craftsmanship with the Japanese fashion retailer's LifeWear philosophy by prioritizing comfort, material quality, and functionality for everyday wear.
"I am very happy to be able to collaborate with UNIQLO for the first time. From the beginning, I have always designed clothes to be enjoyed, worn, and become part of everyday life, in line with the brand's LifeWear philosophy,"
"I am very excited to be able to share this with more women and girls around the world through this collection. Working with Louise & Maria Thornfeldt on the visuals of this campaign also feels very special, because they represent the sisterhood that is the core of Cecilie Bahnsen and the essence we want to express through this collection,"
This was stated by Cecilie Bahnsen from a press statement received by VOI, Friday, May 15.
Carrying the concept of modern femininity for everyday life, this fashion collection features various Cecilie Bahnsen signature details such as floral motifs, voluminous sleeves, frill details, to shirring techniques that are the identity of her designs.
The romantic touch is applied to various items such as dresses, tops, and skirts that still feel wearable for daily activities.
In addition to highlighting aesthetics, this collection is also designed with a focus on comfort through the use of high-quality cotton materials and elastic materials that are comfortable to use throughout the day. The silhouette is made flexible, whether worn as a statement piece or combined in a more casual layering look.
Interestingly, this collaboration is also Cecilie Bahnsen's first debut to present a special line for girls. As a mother, Cecilie admits that she has a special interest in designing children's clothes that are comfortable but still have sweet and playful details.
The children's collection is available in a selection of dresses, T-shirts, and skirts with designs that are in line with the adult line, allowing for matching outfits between mother and child. To support the comfort of daily activities, some items also feature adjustable waist details and practical pockets on both sides.
The collaboration between UNIQLO and Cecilie Bahnsen presents a blend of modern feminine style, poetic silhouettes, and a functional design approach typical of LifeWear.
The result is a collection that is not only stylistically relevant, but also able to adapt to the needs of modern women who want clothes that are comfortable, versatile, and timeless.
This collaboration also has its own story for UNIQLO. Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer and Head of R&D UNIQLO, Yukihiro Katsuta, revealed that the idea of cooperation had emerged several years ago.
"When we opened our first store in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2019, I met Cecilie by chance. I was immediately interested in her approach to craftsmanship, and hoped that one day we could create something together. Seven years later, the long-awaited moment finally came in the form of this collaboration. This collection interprets the warmth and sensitivity of Cecilie Bahnsen's signature handcraft in a very UNIQLO version," he said.
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection will be available soon at all UNIQLO Indonesia stores and through the Japanese fashion retail's official website.
