UNIVERS In Its 10th Year: A Series of Collaborations

 

H&F Retail Concepts, Inc.'s first boutique UNIVERS, opened at One Rockwell in May 2011. Following the successful opening of its first retail outlet, the company expanded its operations by opening a second location at The Shoppes at Solaire in June 2019. With its 10th anniversary just around the corner, UNIVERS is set to open their third store at Greenbelt 3 this year.

In May 2021, the multi-label retail store launched its 10th anniversary campaign and featured the unveiling of its commemorative logo, which was designed by New York-based design agency, Karlssonwilker. This season, it has partnered with some of its favorite labels, including APC, Fred Perry, and Craig Green.

This month, Off-White™ joins the roster of brands celebrating the 10th year of UNIVERS. This t-shirt is designed with a prominent 10 print and is part of the brand's iconic topography pattern.
