"We first collaborated with Uniqlo in 2008 for a capsule collection and I’ve stayed in touch with Mr Yanai, ever since — he’s always been supportive of the brand and told me to reconnect when I had another idea," said Wang in a statement. "The idea of mixing innerwear and the technology of the Uniqlo fabric felt like the perfect opportunity to jumpstart a new collaboration. Beyond the technology of AIRism, our collection is centered around wearing functional pieces that keep you cool on hot summer days while also feeling and looking great."
