Metro: Uniqlo x JW Anderson Featuring Anthony Constantino

Article (news)

<p>Once the fashion world’s young provocateur, <strong>Jonathan Anderson</strong> is now its darling. In the years since founding his namesake label <strong>JW ANDERSON</strong>, the Northern Irish designer has long built an empire of narratives where every piece of clothing entwines craft, culture, and connection into its very seams. Now, with a new collection with <strong>UNIQLO </strong>and an exciting local celebrity partner for this season, things are looking extra playful.</p><p>Jonathan Anderson is a genius in high fashion’s rarefied air, steering both menswear and couture with his singular creative vision.</p><p>Even while taking the reins of the most storied ateliers, Jonathan has never lost sight of the so-called “art of the everyday“ as he brings his distinctive British sensibility once more to UNIQLO in a reimagined winter-inspired collection for daily life.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761303514014FINAL METRO ANTHONY UNIQLO J 10242025.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>British classics, designed for life today</strong></div><p>The <strong>UNIQLO x JW ANDERSON</strong> collaboration first debuted in 2017, marking the start of a creative dialogue that has since redefined modern dressing. Each season has been a study in character and charm: the earliest, a love letter to tartans and tweeds; the next, to English seaside stripes and rugby knits; and last year, to patterned duffle coats and understated caps, which all became cult favorites. </p><p>Now, for<strong> Fall/Winter 2025</strong>, JWA writes a new chapter that distills his fascination with form and function into silhouettes that are both timeless and tactile. The collection invites us into a “modern cabinet of curiosities” that draws inspiration from British fieldwear heritage and transforms rugged classics into contemporary staples that fit the lens of UNIQLO’s unmistakable LifeWear philosophy: simple, high-quality, everyday clothing with a practical sense of beauty.</p><p>“This season&#x27;s collection updates the British winter wardrobe with ease of styling and universal playfulness. Along with unique items that are distinctively JW ANDERSON, such as utility jackets and ponchos, new warm colors have been added for our signature jeans and Oxford shirts,” states JWA, whose inventive compass guided fashion into further unpredictable territories.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612868465063.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612868662467.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612868790276.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612895782468.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Signature pieces such as the Oxford shirts and denim staples return this season, reinterpreted with fresh color treatments and patterns that breathe new life into the classics. Outerwear takes its cue from classic utility-hunting jackets, thick corduroy, and warm knits made to endure beyond time.</p><p>The palette sits around earthy neutrals, anchoring the range of olive, tan, deep brown, and navy, with flashes of vibrant tomato red and turquoise blue: tones that feel like a wink of optimism against muted winter skies. </p><p>Inside the collection’s tactile language lies knitwear, a hallmark of warmth and personality. Soufflé yarns, ribbed crew necks, and knit polo sweaters lend texture to everyday dressing, while field-inspired details like workwear seams, oversized pockets, and layered silhouettes marry form with function.</p><p>All in all, the eighth collaboration results in a lineup that balances practicality and play, a wardrobe of intelligent essentials designed to move effortlessly between work, travel, and downtime, bridging the best of both worlds: JW Anderson’s curiosity and UNIQLO’s LifeWear image. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176128689518710.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612869100061.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><strong>A new kind of lifestyle</strong></div><p>Having cemented his place among the most forward-thinking designers of this generation, Jonathan Anderson delivers a living archive of ideas with this release. It signals a new collection equating to a new lifestyle—because who says outerwear is just for braving the cold anyway? Here, it’s for building character. </p><p>This season eyes on style, meeting practicality in its most democratic form. Whether layered lightly or fashioned boldly, each piece presents comfort, creativity, and everything in between. </p><p>Even in tropical countries like the Philippines, where winter is more metaphor than climate, the collection finds its footing as outerwear has found new meaning. Jackets are now armor for long commutes, cardigans feel like comfort in cold office air, and textured knits lend confidence to spontaneous nights out. </p><p>The F/W ‘25 collection captures this spirit of modern versatility, proving that what was once designed for chill can now embody cool. After all,  life has changed, and so has the way we live in clothes. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612869817284.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Boyhood dreams</strong></div><p>Fronting this digital cover story is Anthony Constantino, an up-and-coming model in the fashion and entertainment scene and UNIQLO’s newest Local Celebrity Partner. Fresh from walking the runways of local and international shows, Anthony channels his signature laid-back charm with natural ease, meeting the collection’s playful minimalism and sophistication. </p><p>In Metro’s exclusive concept shoot titled “Boyhood Dreams,” Anthony’s rise is reimagined through the lens of nostalgia—a dreamscape of clouds, paper boats, and planes that mirrors the collaboration’s theme of creativity and curiosity. </p><p>“This concept of boyhood wonder kind of naturally fell into place because we&#x27;re working with a really fun collection with Uniqlo and JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2025 collection, which has a lot of fun elements, a lot of play incorporated in the pieces, and the colorways. So, it&#x27;s quite natural for us to kind of connect that with Anthony, who’s the next style star in the making in terms of menswear,” says Randz Manucom, the Creative Director of the shoot and Fashion Editor of Metro. </p><p>He further explains, “For this one, we kind of built on that childhood wonder that he was once dreaming of, and right now, it&#x27;s kind of like a storytelling of him achieving his goals.”</p><p>For Anthony, the collaboration feels honest and true: “I&#x27;m just so happy to be one of UNIQLO’s newest Local Celebrity Partners. It&#x27;s a brand that I&#x27;ve been using for a while now. It&#x27;s been so long, and it&#x27;s a brand that I genuinely use. I only choose to endorse something that I actually use and believe in.”</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761290451065Untitled design-7.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p style="text-align:left">Anthony wears the season’s key pieces like the JW ANDERSON Straight Jeans, Ribbed Crew Necks and Soufflé Yarn Sweaters, and the Pufftech Utility Jacket. “You kind of see, like, for this season, it&#x27;s really about layering. If there&#x27;s a tip that we want to put out there, it&#x27;s to kind of start with a nice base layer and have a structured jacket over it, and with as simple as that, you actually have something that looks put together and that is very much on trend and easy to achieve,” shares Randz on how he styles the model.</p><p>As Anthony lounges between takes, in the Soufflé Yarn Gradient Crew Neck Sweater in blue and the iconic UNIQLO and JW Anderson Straight Jeans, he smiles, stating: “I like comfortability, you know, I don&#x27;t like to be in something so tight on me, and most of all, I prefer the quality. I think what separates this release is the collaboration with JWA. You could really feel it in the jeans. You know, there&#x27;s a lot of jeans here on the market, but I choose to go with UNIQLO and JW Anderson.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17612870098279.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>For this cover shoot, Metro highlighted the JW Anderson Straight Jeans. As Randz points out, “You’ve seen Anthony really rocking different shades of these trousers, and the highlight is actually really the shape of it, that it keeps its shape and flattering for you in terms of elongating yourself, and it&#x27;s actually looking cool and comfortable effortlessly.”</p><p>Tying the 25FW UNIQLO x JW ANDERSON collection with Anthony Constantino is spot on as it whispers a quiet dialogue between UNIQLO’s everyday LifeWear, JWA’s playful craftsmanship, and Anthony’s childhood wonder. </p><p>As Randz beautifully sums it up, “That&#x27;s kind of how we put together this cover story of boyhood dreams relating to the Uniqlo pieces and the JW Anderson aesthetic, kind of just like this cabinet of curiosities. It’s all about wonders, it&#x27;s all about fun, and it&#x27;s all about just a sense of joy in the everyday.”</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photography by <strong>Cenon and Mav</strong></em></div><div><em>Metro Head: <strong>Christina Lopez</strong></em></div><div><em>Sittings Editor: <strong>Geolette Esguerra</strong></em></div><div><em>Creative Director: <strong>Randz Manucom</strong></em></div><div><em>Managing Editor: <strong>Rick Formalejo</strong></em></div><div><em>Fashion Associate: <strong>Carla Buyo</strong></em></div><div><em>Grooming: <strong>Jaimie Kato</strong></em></div><div><em>Video: <strong>Alivve Studio</strong></em></div><div><em>Set Design: <strong>Rocket Set Studio</strong> <br/></em></div><div><em>Interns: <strong>Ysabella Bautista</strong>,<strong> Zoe Agnes</strong></em></div><div><em><br/></em></div><div><em>Special Thanks to <strong>Creo</strong>, <strong>Sparkle</strong>, and <strong>Uniqlo Philippines</strong></em></div>
