UNIQLO celebrates 1st anniversary with UT ALL Stars launch
by MaryAnn Soh

Casual wear apparel brand, UNIQLO, recently celebrated its 1st year anniversary since opening its first store in Singapore last year.

In conjunction with that, the Japanese label introduced a new UT collection called, UT ALL STARS, for Spring/Summer 2010.

Every year, "UT", UNIQLO T-shirts, sports a new theme. This year it is about the all-star theme, in which superheroes and characters of the cartoon and comic world are joined in what Director & Producer of UT, Rei Matsunuma, described as a "Uniqlo theatre". 

The ALL STAR series is the largest UT collection to date, boasting a record of 1300 colours and T-shirt designs, most of which is available at stores in Singapore.

The highlight of the collection features characters from iconic Japanese manga (or comic strips), anime and games, more affectionately known as Cool Japan. You'll see scenes from the comic Dragonball and characters from Mobile Suit Gundam and Evangelion come alive.

But of course, the savvy folks at UNIQLO have not missed out the crew from Disney and Warner Bros. and heroes from Marvel Comics and Star Wars. 

Most T-shirt designs are unisex, but the silhouettes have moved beyond the standard T-shape. For women, you have the option of certain designs in T-shirt dresses and sleeveless cuts. For men, you get to experiment with a range of T-shirt necklines - from original V-neck and U-neck styles to the deeper V-neck, cut-off, roll-neck and big-silhouette styles. 

To top it off, each T-shirt comes with its own uniquely designed tag from the particular series, which fans can keep as a collectible.

Although the collection is going to be available all year round, my advice to fans is this: Get your hands on one of these tees, quick!

Afterall, UT ALL STARS only comes to us this year.

Retail prices from $19.90 - $24.90. UT ALL STAR T-shirts are available at all UNIQLO outlets islandwide.
