The latest issue of the LifeWear Magazine for Spring/Summer 2022 is out!

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the launch of the 2022 Spring/Summer issue of LifeWear magazine this month of February 2022. 

LifeWear magazine is a free publication that conveys the UNIQLO LifeWear philosophy of making the everyday lives of people richer and more comfortable. The theme of issue 06 for Spring/Summer is “The Joys of Clothing,” presenting reflections on the simple pleasures found in wearing clothes. Through such features as an interview with filmmaker Sofia Coppola, and the fashion story of UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON as photographed by the Australian periodical frankie magazine, this issue focuses on our positive relationship with clothing.

Takahiro Kinoshita, Fast Retailing Group Executive Vice President, and Creative Director commented:

“The theme for this issue, ‘The Joys of Clothing,’ was inspired by Joy of Cooking, an enduringly popular and beloved recipe book originally published in the U.S. in the 1930s. The title incorporates the idea of the delight found in selecting and styling clothing, in the same way, that people enjoy cooking. We want this issue to be an opportunity for people to encounter preppy spring moods and colorful clothing.”
