Abdul Koroma and Andrew Jones have created a 30-piece collection, choc-full of draped dresses, georgette parkas and breezy trans-seasonal separates.
"The Ghost brand has been around for 25 years and has an incredibly huge heritage. Women have always related to the ease of the clothes and this has been the main focus - moving the brand forward without forgetting the past," said Koroma.
The range is due to hit stores at the end of the month. Prices range from under £50 to around £220.
In her new creative role at Uniqlo, Jil Sander is gearing up to launch her own collection to be called +J.
The designer unveiled the label and logo for her forthcoming line in Tokyo on Wednesday.
Right now she is working on the autumn/winter launch for +J, but she is also involved in Uniqlo's other clothing and accessories divisions.
While a release date for the collection is yet to be announced, it will be sold in all Uniqlo flagship stores worldwide.
It was revealed in March that Sander had joined the Japanese retailer. After a five year hiatus many, including yours truly, are waiting to see exactly what she will produce next.

The ole' grapevine is running hot again with whispers that Geri Halliwell is in gearing up to launch her own Topshop range.
According to those in-the-know, the Spice Girl was spotted at Sir Philip Green's office last week, where she is said to be brainstorming ideas for her own collection aimed at an older customer.
Since her Spice Girls comeback, Geri has found success writing books for tots, becoming the best-selling children's author of last year. While her passion for high street fashion is well known, once again I am doubtful of such rumours.
I'm still waiting on Cheryl Cole's Topshop line.
