September 15, 2026, India – Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the 2026 Fall/Winter UNIQLO : C, the special line from renowned British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller. Created on the theme of “Precision of Softness,” this latest collection reimagines everyday essentials through refined proportions, tactile textures, and precise layering, bringing an urban sensibility to familiar pieces. Denim, wool, cashmere and corduroy are expressed through generous yet controlled volumes, while rich bordeaux and brown are balanced with charcoal and softer touches of lemon, blush pink and green, bringing subtle contrasts throughout the collection.
Clare Waight Keller said:
“I think there is a real desire now for clothes that bring comfort and ease without losing their sense of character. For this collection, I wanted to give that softness greater definition, through proportion, texture and the way each piece moves on the body. Everything is very considered, from the warmth and tactile quality of the new fluffy cashmere to the unexpected lightness and fluidity of corduroy. It is about creating a sense of refinement you can feel, with clothes that have a strong point of view yet remain completely natural to wear.”
A new cashmere series conceived by Clare Waight Keller introduces long-pile fluffy knits that enhance the natural warmth and softness of the fiber. Exceptionally soft against the skin, their textured surface gives the pieces an immediate sense of refinement. Shallow V-neck styles, crew neck cardigans and turtleneck vests are presented in soft, muted shades of pink, lemon, oatmeal, charcoal grey and cream. Corduroy trousers made from a newly developed fabric create a light, fluid drape and are completed with a premium leather belt finished with a metal tip. Vibrant new shades of HEATTECH Cashmere Blend add color to layered Fall/Winter styles.
