Calling all fashionistas! How would you like to own a little bit of iconic fashion? Well, now you can, as iconic 60s fashion designer Celia Bertwell is set to launch a collection for Japanese high street fashion chain Uniqlo.
‘I’m actually fairly critical of my work but I think the way they’ve put it together, I couldn’t have done it better myself.’ The designer was quoted saying on Elle website.
