Verdy Confirms Solo Uniqlo Collaboration + First Look !

Edit**: Nearly an hour before publishing this piece, Verdy had updated again on Instagram confirming and releasing the first commercial for his Uniqlo Collaboration!

An exciting year for up and coming Japanese designer Verdy. With the success of Wasted Youth, Girls Don’t Cry, and collaborations with big Japanese designers of Undercover and global powerhouse Nike, Verdy has already made big strides in the fashion community. His next step into the global market after his Nike SB collaboration under Girls Don’t Cry, is a self-labeled artistic “dynamic collection” for Uniqlo called “RISE AGAIN.” First teased by himself and Uniqlo’s creative director NIGO on Instagram, followed by a later video post on personal Instagram as an official Uniqlo commercial for his line. We got the early scoop and link to preview his new graphic tee’s for Uniqlo!

Verdy’s First Tease on IG ft. Rise Again x Uniqlo

Featuring what seems to only be a Women’s / Girls line, Verdy’s collection with Uniqlo features many vibrant colors and graphics with an overarching theme of oversized boxy fits. His collection features many boxy cut ¾ quarter cut t shirts for that breezy comfy style and unique look. Along with the unique cut and styled t shirts, there is a long t shirt dress shirt with matching vibrant colors and graphics. Graphics feature different phrases such as the self titled “Rise Again” and “Break the Mold.” Although a women’s only release as of now, the t shirt’s baggy style and silhouette is something I can see myself purchasing in a larger size to rock!

Verdy breaks his collaborative mold with his own brands and releases an inventive collection under own name. What is next for the Boys Don’t Cry designer? More self releases or should he continue work under his brands? Leave a comment below for what you think is next for him.

Take a look at the preview for Verdy’s "RISE AGAIN” collection. It is set to release online and in-store in July !
