Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of    "UNIQLO F.RISSO", a collaboration with Italian designer Francesco Risso. Suitable for everyday life or as holiday wear, the summer capsule collection - themed “Made for Dreaming” - offers a range of free and playful items that bring new discoveries and joy to everyday outfits for men and women.

Titled “Made for Dreaming”, the collection explores the idea of accessible clothing carrying imagination at scale. Structured yet soft silhouettes are combined with hand-drawn prints, sun-washed colours, and fluid proportions designed to move naturally through everyday life. Balancing spontaneity with practicality, the collection reflects Risso’s instinctive and emotionally driven approach to dressing.

Commenting on the collection, Francesco Risso said, “I am inspired by the idea of accessible clothing carrying imagination at scale. For Summer 2026 we developed a collection that pairs uniformity with artistry, introducing a sentiment of playfulness and daring to practical pursuits. Made for dreaming, these designs reflect the radiance of their wearers.”

Yuki Katsuta, Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer commented, “Every time I see people around the world wearing and enjoying pieces from our 2022 collaboration line with Francesco, I am reminded of the importance of bringing small moments of joy into daily lives through clothing. At the same time, I am also truly delighted to present this new capsule collection, our first collaboration in four years. Through Francesco’s distinctive prints and colors, as well as soft silhouettes, we hope this latest collection will convey a light and free-spirited mood and enrich and elevate everyday styling with a sense of joy.”

The collection balances soft structure with a spontaneous spirit through original patterned pieces such as bowtie blouses, fluid dresses with smooth textures and sculptural silhouettes, and flared long skirts finished with ruffled hems. Broadcloth shirts made from 100% high-quality cotton are presented in a variety of stripes and hand-drawn prints.

Many pieces lend themselves to a fluid, unisex approach to dressing, including quick-dry pique polo shirts and oversized T-shirts. Silk scarves and twill caps add a final layer of spontaneity — pieces intended not just to be worn, but lived in.
