Japanese lifestyle label Uniqlo is gearing up to launch its INES DE LA FRSSANGE collection for Fall/Winter 2018. The collection brings together the Uniqlo's Special Project Design Director Naoki Takizawa and Parisian icon Ines de la Fressange. The result of this collaboration infuses Ines' belief of creating comfortable clothing that accentuates beauty and Uniqlo LifeWear's ethos of designing innovative and comfortable clothing at a high-quality. The inspiration drawn for this capsule stems from the fashions in Paris' Montmatre during the 1920s. The collection takes this concept and delivers a contemporary perspective of the styles.
The new INES DE LA FRESSANGE collection debuts kids items as well, in expanding the collection of wardrobe staples. Ines explains that the new collection aimed to deliver kids apparel that was constructed with the same fabric materials as women's apparel. This includes pieces such as cotton shirts and tweed jackets. This additional line allows for mothers and children to create memorable moments with its sophisticated, premium-crafted designs that exude an effortless Parisian aesthetic.
No official launch date has been announced however consumers can expect to see the collection for the brand's FW18 line.
