UNIQLO Launches its 2026 Fall/Winter Collection

Keeping pace with modern city living means navigating days that are always in motion, rain or shine. From rush-hour commutes to  marathon meetings to late-night socials, the dynamic tempo calls for refined, versatile, and functional everyday wear for seamless shifting, which is exactly what UNIQLO  delivers with its 2026 Fall/Winter Collection. 

The latest LifeWear lineup was recently introduced at an exclusive press event, featuring an assortment of colors, textures and silhouettes inspired by modern city living. Combining thoughtful craftsmanship with everyday practicality, the collection reimagines wardrobe essentials to meet the evolving demands of today’s lifestyles. 

This Season, City Classics Take Over the Streets 
The new collection showcases reimagined everyday essentials that deliver comfort, functionality, and timeless style, whatever the forecast, wherever the day takes you.

The collection’s Bottoms come in a variety of styles and cuts that complement different body types and personal styles. There’s the Baggy Barrel Leg Jeans, a popular option for its relaxed barrel cut silhouette, and the EZY Wide Straight Jeans, prized for their versatility and comfort by offering the look of denim and feel of putting on sweats. Meanwhile, the Culotte lineup proves to be the cut of the season as a genderless selection for both girls and guys to style.

With the season all about layers, the UNIQLO Fall/Winter collection also presents lots of stylish casual outerwear. In the Philippines, the key is keeping it simple with pieces such as the Harrington Jacket, the Denim Trucker Jacket, and Coverall, which are all great for everyday layering without too much weight.

Then, there’s the coveted Fleece line that’s available in a variety of colors and styles for men and women. Each design feels comfortable and lightweight, while providing maximum warmth that’s perfect for travel to colder regions. 

For those on the move, Sport Utility Wear (SUW) brings comfort and functionality to everyday movement, with versatile pieces designed to support everything from light activities and errands to more active pursuits.

Other featured categories include Knits, which are also great for everyday wear in the country. The Souffle Yarn Knits, for one, present cozy warmth as it’s made from 100% extra fine merino wool. For those who prefer cotton, there’s the Smooth Cotton Knits that can elevate any fit. Meanwhile, the season’s versatile Loungewear and Innerwear present the comfort of the perfect stay-in clothes, along with the functionality and style to be worn outside.

Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the road, the UNIQLO 2026 Fall/Winter Collection offers LifeWear designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life.

Serving this Season’s Looks 
Adding to the excitement was the introduction of UNIQLO’s newest local celebrity partner, award-winning actress and host Anne Curtis. Bringing her own playful take on modern city style, Anne showcased the collection’s versatility through two distinct looks. 

First, she layered the Zip Up Short Jacket with the JW Anderson Boxy Oxford Long Sleeve Shirt and Ribbed Henley Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt, paired with Baggy Barrel Leg Jeans for a relaxed, comfortable look. Next, she embraced a cozy yet polished style with the Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-Zip Jacket, UNIQLO : C Milano Ribbed Full-Zip Cardigan, and Baggy Barrel Leg Jeans. The mix of relaxed silhouettes and refined details highlights the collection’s effortless versatility, showing how classic pieces can be reimagined with a fresh, modern attitude.

“What I’m wearing is the Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full-Zip Jacket and underneath is the UNIQLO : C Milano Ribbed Full-Zip Cardigan, and then I have my Baggy Barrel Jeans. It’s pretty chill, relaxed, and for someone like me who gets cold easily, even in Manila, it’s perfect for me. As you can see, I’m not even sweating. It’s comfy, it’s perfect, and it’s fluffy” said Anne Curtis.

Also bringing the collection’s modern city living inspirations to life was UNIQLO Philippines’ roster of local celebrity partners, each showcasing their own take on the latest LifeWear pieces.

Alexa Ilacad highlighted the timeless appeal and functionality of the AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top, layering it with the JW Anderson Oxford Boxy Long Sleeve Shirt and Windproof Stand Blouson, paired with a Pleated Skort for a versatile, polished finish. Anthony Constantino elevated everyday dressing with UNIQLO Sweats, showcasing how the category can go beyond loungewear. He layered the Oxford Oversized Long Sleeve Shirt over the UNIQLO : C Oversized Sweatshirt, paired with Sweat Wide Pants for a sleek yet comfortable look.

Meanwhile, Emilio Daez looked effortlessly polished in his AIRism Cotton Oversized Crew Neck T-Shirt, layered under the Waffle Henley Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt, highlighting the versatility of UNIQLO’s everyday Core T essentials. He completed the look with Baggy Jeans and a Fleece Full-Zip Jacket, adding a relaxed yet functional touch. Kianna Dy showcased Lounge & Underwear through the Ribbed V-neck Cardigan, layered over the Henley Neck Sleeveless Top and Ribbed Sleeveless Top, paired with Cotton Easy Boxer Shorts for a comfortable, easygoing finish.

Matteo Guidicelli rocked the Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater as his practical and reliable go-to this season, pairing it with the JW Anderson Denim Long Sleeve Shirt and Slim Chino Pants. Rounding out the lineup, Solenn Heussaff showcased her signature individuality through layered outerwear, pairing the Coated Relaxed Shirt Jacket with the HEATTECH Extra Warm Cashmere Blend Turtleneck T-Shirt and Smart Culottes for a confident, contemporary take on city dressing.

More Reasons to Celebrate the Collection
The season also marks the 10th anniversary of UNIQLO U, celebrating a decade of evolving LifeWear essentials, alongside the upcoming launch of the UNIQLO : C  collection for Fall/Winter. Moreover, fans of UNIQLO Core T and the UT collection can look forward to new designs inspired by Japan, iconic characters, and pop art,  including Manga 100th, YOASOBI, Pokemon, Ukiyo-e, Peanuts and NY POP ART.

Now, we’re providing more options with our new Mega Meals, completing the meal experience with our delicious dessert. This is another napakasulit win that everyone can ‘tastify’ about,” said NJ Caballar-Azurin, Senior Brand Manager for McDonald’s Philippines.

Enter the ethereal space of Shades: Ballet Manila concludes PRIMA season with La Bayadere

 

A temple dancer’s devotion. A warrior’s divided heart. A priest’s consuming desire. Their story moves between passion and betrayal, life and afterlife. This August, Ballet Manila brings its PRIMA Season to a grand conclusion with the rare full-length staging of Marius Petipa’s timeless classic, La Bayadère, at the Aliw Theater on August 14 at 8 :00 p.m., and August 15 and 16 at 5:00 p.m.

Set against the backdrop of ancient India, La Bayadère tells the story of Nikiya, a temple dancer bound by love, and Solor, the warrior torn between passion and duty. Their fates intertwine with Gamzatti, the rajah’s daughter, and the High Brahmin, whose desires ignite betrayal and tragedy. The ballet unfolds across opulent courts and sacred temples before dissolving into the ethereal Kingdom of the Shades.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the return of Ballet Manila founder and artistic director, Lisa Macuja Elizalde to the Philippines from Russia where her most notable achievement was being the first foreign soloist of the then Kirov Ballet (now Mariinsky Ballet). Staging this full-length masterpiece as the crowning jewel of PRIMA carries immense personal significance.  She calls La Bayadère one of the great "white ballets," alongside Giselle and Swan Lake.

These classics are known for their ethereal scenes where ballerinas, dressed in white, move in perfect unison with every line exposed and every detail revealed. Among them, Lisa believes La Bayadère is the ultimate test of skill. Its Kingdom of the Shades sequence in Act III is celebrated worldwide as a pinnacle of discipline and artistry. Yet she is confident Ballet Manila's corps de ballet is ready. "Ballet Manila is the only company in the Philippines with this kind of superior ensemble," she says. "That is why it deserves its place in our 31st performance season."

Leading the production are two of the Mariinsky Ballet's brightest stars—Renata Shakirova and Kimin Kim—whose acclaimed partnership captivated Manila in Don Quixote (2025). They return in the roles they know by heart: Nikiya and Solor.

Mariinsky prima ballerina Renata Shakirova brings vulnerable humanity to Nikiya, embracing the character's emotional journey. "The first act is full of openness and love, but everything changes in Act 2 where it becomes tragic," she says. "Every part I feel deep inside me. All the emotions of Nikiya, I feel I live through."

Alongside her, Kimin Kim—renowned for his gravity-defying leaps—sees Solor as a role defined by emotional truth rather than technical feats. "Technique is supposed to be there already from the very beginning," he explains. "I try to make it all look easy, so the technique doesn't look like work. More important is that I can show emotion and the depth of the character."

Their partnership, built on complete trust, transforms choreography into conversation. "Onstage, we believe in each other completely," Renata shares. "That trust allows us to dance not only with technique, but with emotion."

For Lisa, collaborations like these continue to elevate Ballet Manila. She recalls audience members from Korea and Germany traveling to Manila for Don Quixote, then praising Ballet Manila alongside the world's finest companies. "That made me proud—not just of Renata and Kimin, but of our dancers, our school, and our thirty-one years of building a company that can hold its own on the global stage."

Renata says she gladly returns for Ballet Manila's family atmosphere and the warmth of Filipino audiences. "I love seeing their eyes burning with excitement and watching them discover us in new roles."

Kimin echoes the same sentiment. "From my very first rehearsal, I felt as though we had already been dancing together for years. That family atmosphere makes performing here unforgettable. I hope Renata and I can return to Ballet Manila and the Philippines again and again."

As PRIMA draws to a close, La Bayadère stands as both a showcase of world-class ballet and a testament to what happens when extraordinary artistry meets genuine collaboration. Ballet Manila invites audiences to experience a rare masterpiece brought to life by internationally celebrated artists alongside a company proudly standing on the global stage.

Hanabishi Says “Thank You” in a Big Way to Its Loyal Employees With an All-Expenses Paid Trip to Hong Kong

Hanabishi kicked off its 40th anniversary celebration this 2026 by honoring the people who have helped shape its success over the years. Last April, the company rewarded approximately 90 of its long-tenured employees to a four-day all-expenses paid trip to Hong Kong as a reward for their years of dedication.

“On the occasion of our 40th founding anniversary this year, our company decided to make the celebration more memorable by bringing all employees who have been with the company for at least five years, regardless of rank and file, on a 4-day-3-night all-expenses-paid trip to Hong Kong,” said Jasper Ong, President of Hanabishi.

“Our longevity is built on people’s time, dedication, and loyalty, and we value these contributions equally, regardless of one’s position at the table.  Our universal tenure trip reflects our company's inclusivity and demonstrates that there is no "us versus them" culture in our workplace.  We are one big family with approachable leadership,” Ong said.

Celebrating the Unseen Heroes Behind the Company’s Success

The special anniversary treat gave Hanabishi employees from different departments the chance to celebrate and bond. Organized by Golden World Travel & Tours Inc., the four-day trip had them experiencing the magic of Hong Kong Disneyland and seeing the breathtaking views of Victoria Peak. They also had the opportunity to explore the shopping and cultural district of Mong Kok, and enjoy a scenic night cruise. They were also given had a free day to explore Hong Kong at their own pace.

One of the employees who enjoyed the anniversary treat was Leonides Villanueva, a W7 Supervisor who has been with Hanabishi since 2003. He said that he is proud to witness the company’s growth as it expanded its product range for Filipino families.

"Ang hangad at hiling ko sa Diyos ay lalo pang pagpalain ang Hanabishi para marami pa silang matulungan (My hope and prayer to God is to bless Hanabishi so that they can help more people),” Villanueva expressed. 

Ian Pluma, who works in the service parts department and has been with the company since 2013, shared that he would always see the Hanabishi commercial playing on TV when he was young, not knowing that he would eventually work and stay for 13 years in the company.

“Nasaksihan ko kung paano dumami ang ating mga produkto at parts. Naalala ko pa dati na nangungupahan pa tayo ng warehouse. Ngayon, may sarili na tayong warehouse (I have witnessed how our parts and products grew over the years. I can still remember when we used to rent a warehouse. Now we have our own warehouse),” Pluma shared about Hanabishi’s growth.

Quality Control Engineer Kathleen Grace Ariola echoed Pluma’s statement. She has been with Hanabishi since 2016, joining the company immediately after graduating from college.

“Since almost all new product models pass through our department for testing, I can clearly see the company’s progress and development. From products that meet basic household needs to those that cater to the modern lifestyle of Filipino families, Hanabishi now offers a wide range of appliances that serve almost every need,” she said.

One Big Hanabishi Family

For many employees, Hanabishi’s family-oriented culture makes them feel valued, and considers it as one of the reasons they have remained loyal to the company.

Jessica Tayupon, for example, has been with Hanabishi for 20 years. "Family vibes lang. ’Yung tipong nagwo-work ka pero di ka papasok na may kaba or takot kasi sobrang babait ng boss mo. Dito parang nasa second home ka lang (It’s just a family vibe. The kind were you’re working , but you don’t come in feeling nervous or afraid because the bosses are really kind. Here, it feels like you’re in your second home),” she shared.

For Sales Staff Irene Villanueva, who has been with Hanabishi for 18 years now, it’s the company’s care for its employees that makes working at Hanabishi especially meaningful. “Mayroon silang malasakit at pagmamahal, na kahit nahihirapan ka sa task willing silang magturo at magpaliwanag (They have care and compassion that when you’re having difficulty with a task, they are willing to teach and explain),” she shared.

To sustain Hanabishi's close-knit, family-oriented culture, Ong said that they need to preserve Hanabishi’s core values. “We can do this by maintaining approachable leadership and ensuring that each team member feels valued and rewarded,” he stressed.

Building the Next 40 Years Together

As Hanabishi celebrates four decades of success and growth, Ong said that they will remain committed to creating opportunities for their employees.

“Employees stay at a company when they feel respected, safe, and truly valued for their contributions. They also need to see a clear future for themselves, with opportunities to learn and grow. When this supportive environment is combined with fair pay, employees feel both satisfied and secure. Ultimately, creating a workplace that feels like a caring community is what inspires people to stay for the long-term,” Ong stressed.

He added, “As new industry challenges emerge, we will focus and invest on training our loyal employees so they have the skills needed to lead us into the future. It is also vital to keep the workplace safe for new ideas, where people feel comfortable experimenting, adapting, and learning from mistakes. In the end, treating our history as a source of strength rather than a rule book is exactly how Hanabishi will continue to grow without losing its heart.”

LG and Imperial Appliance Plaza Extend Laundry Love to Earthquake-Affected Families in General Santos City

During challenging times, care can take the form of something simple but deeply practical: a fresh set of clothes, clean bedding, and one less household task for a family to carry.

 

LG Electronics Philippines, in partnership with Imperial Appliances, brought its Laundry Love free laundry service program to General Santos City for the first time, supporting residents affected by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in June.

 

Held from July 13 to 17 at the Barangay Hall in Purok Estrella, Barangay Calumpang, the five-day activation provided 310 families with free access to LG washers and dryers. Operating daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the program handled approximately 2,544 kilograms of laundry.

 

Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director of LG Electronics Philippines, said, “Laundry Love reflects our belief that meaningful support begins with understanding what communities need in their everyday lives. For families recovering from a natural calamity, access to clean clothes and household essentials can help ease one immediate burden. Together with Imperial Appliances and the local community, we are grateful for the opportunity to bring practical care closer to families in General Santos City.”

 

Practical care during a time of need

 

Laundry can become particularly difficult following a natural calamity, when families may be focused on safety, recovery, and rebuilding their daily routines. Through Laundry Love, LG makes its washing and drying technologies available in shared community spaces, giving residents access to free laundry services when these are needed most.

 

By washing approximately 2,544 kilograms of clothing and household fabrics, the program helped participating families address a basic but essential part of daily life.

 

A program built around shared responsibility

 

LG Laundry Love is a free laundry service program that reinforces the company’s commitment to social responsibility by supporting communities affected by natural calamities and helping make clean laundry accessible during times of need.

 

The program is carried out through collaboration with local government units and dealers, combining LG technology with local knowledge and community coordination. By installing washers and dryers in accessible shared spaces, Laundry Love responds to an immediate household need while families focus on other aspects of recovery.

 

Since its launch in 2018, the initiative has served thousands of individuals across different communities.

 

Bringing Laundry Love to General Santos City marks another step in expanding the program’s reach, while showing how partnerships between companies, dealers, and communities can translate into meaningful assistance on the ground.

 

More than clean clothes

 

For the 310 families who participated, the activity offered more than access to laundry equipment. It provided time, convenience, and a measure of everyday normalcy during a difficult period.

 

As the program continues to reach communities across the Philippines, LG Electronics Philippines remains committed to working with local partners to respond to everyday needs and help make life better, one load at a time.
