If you didn’t find any Alexander Wang pieces that fit your budget at the Barneys Warehouse Sale, fret not! WWD confirms reports that Wang and Brazilian designer Juliana Jabour have each designed a capsule collection for Uniqlo, and we’ve got a few new images to check out in advance. Though Wang’s color-blocked pleated dresses and tucked sleeveless dress won’t hit stores until May, Jabour’s stuff will land on the racks at the end of the month, the date of which has not been set.

The capsule collections are part of the Japanese retailer’s Young Designer’s Invitation Project, which has previously brought in pieces by Lutz & Patmos, Alice Roi, and Phillip Lim. Bonus: All pieces from the project retail for $29 to $79, so we’ll hear nothing of this recession nonsense.

WWD has circulated some of the Jabour looks, but we’ve got a couple more for your perusal.
