Uniqlo has released a new 'Celebrating Sofia Coppola UT' collection featuring the renowned filmmaker Sofia Coppola and the iconic scenes from her films. Sofia Coppola, daughter of famous filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, is an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who made acclaimed films like Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette.
