MUMBAI: When fashion meets fantasy, expect a wardrobe straight out of a dream or a Ghibli film. Uniqlo is all set to sprinkle a bit of My Neighbour Totoro magic into your closet. The global apparel giant announced the third edition of its highly anticipated UT collaboration with Studio Ghibli, titled “My Dear”, which will hit shelves across India on July 4, 2025.
This latest drop from the cult-favourite collaboration features 14 designs celebrating the iconic storytelling and whimsy of Studio Ghibli. Expect artistic nods to beloved films and characters, from soot sprites to forest spirits, brought to life through UT’s crisp cuts and cotton charm.
The line-up includes 11 styles for men priced between Rs 1,490 and Rs 2,490, and six adorable styles for kids starting at just Rs 990. All items will be available at Uniqlo stores across India and online, making it easier than ever for fans to wear their fandom on their sleeves quite literally.
The visuals this time around are extra special, thanks to returning Thai artist Kanyada Phatan, known for her delicate interpretations of Ghibli’s universe, and Studio Ghibli’s own legendary producer Toshio Suzuki, whose sketches have been woven into the fabric of the campaign.
The “My Dear” launch will also be marked by a special event, though Uniqlo is still keeping those details under wraps. Given the previous buzz around this collaboration which first launched in February 2022 fans can expect a summer splash of colour, nostalgia, and cinematic flair.
With Ghibli’s emotional storytelling and Uniqlo’s wearable minimalism, this capsule collection is bound to enchant both fashionistas and anime loyalists alike. So mark your calendars, because on 4 July, your T-shirt drawer might just get its own fairy-tale ending.
