UNIQLO – LifeWear magazine
Casting and local production for UNIQLO’s LifeWear magazine, issue 07 2022, Fall & Winter issue.
Old yet new. Some things have a way of being both at once. For “Today’s Classics” we cast fourteen inspiring creatives, artists and musicians, who call London as their home, to share their perspectives in their own creative fields.
LifeWear magazine is available at all key UNIQLO stores world-wide.
