In Pictures: Uniqlo reveals Roger Federer and JW Anderson's co-created collection

Global high street retailer Uniqlo has unveiled the new collection in collaboration with tennis legend Roger Federer and Irish designer JW Anderson.

The collection, which was announced on Instagram yesterday, combines Federer’s classicly-British style with JW Anderson's colourful rendition of modern sportswear.

Koji Yanai, Fast Retailing Senior Executive Officer and Head of Uniqlo Global Marketing, commented: "While developing his tennis wear, we often exchanged opinions with Roger about how it could be worn and enjoyed both On and Off the Court. With this in mind, we immediately thought of JW Anderson because he has a deep understanding of sports and performance wear. I am confident that everyone will find something in the new collection that suits their individual daily style."

Along with polo shirts and shorts in Uniqlo's Dry Ex material, the collection includes many genderless pieces from nylon easy pants to lambswool crewneck sweaters.

Roger Federer said: "I’ve always wanted to have a collection perfect for playing tennis while also versatile for the other parts of daily life. I’m fortunate that Jonathan shared this vision. Together, we were able to create a stylish and comfortable line rooted in a classic tennis style. Jonathan is talented, creative, and incredibly down-to-earth. It has been a pleasure to work with him on this collection."

Jonathan Anderson added: "When I was first approached about creating a collection with Roger, I remember being very happy and excited. That’s because I was so influenced by watching Roger play.

"Thinking a lot about what LifeWear means for all the different people who look up to Roger, we designed a collection that could be worn in an actual match, for a classic look, or just as easily be worn around town. We’ve got something that feels elevated, and it is kind of timeless."

Uniqlo’s Roger Federer Collection by JW Anderson will be available in-store and online in Europe on 4 September with prices ranging from £29.90 to £99.90.
