LEMAIRE History

The world fashion brand that Japan is proud of, UNIQLO, has been collaborating with Christophe Lemaire, with "UNIQLO AND LEMAIRE", which has been a topic since 2015. The designer Christophe Lemaire, who has accumulated experience at the design studio of Yves Saint Laurent, and consecutively served as the artistic director of Lacoste and the Hermes women’s artistic director, has himself established “Christophe Lemaire.” It is a collection designed delicately to the details while being functional, and is appreciated globally, with a focus in Europe.

The Merits of UNIQLO and LEMAIRE

In the fall and winter of 2015, the first collection of UNIQLO and LEMAIRE developed products that were particular about the balance of quality and price. The clothes are sophisticated and elegant while having a moderate feeling of relaxation and comfort, proposing an evolution of “everyday wear” that reflected the modern age. The popularity of the collaboration has caused people to line up at UNIQLO before the store opens in the morning. The popularity from last year has also not grown cold, and the second collection was released all over the country on March 4. In the current season, with items from ¥1900 the good value for the price is continuing, with comfortable materials like cotton, seersucker, chambray, oxford, and the use of cotton cashmere. For coloring, ginger, blue-green, and ash grey are base colors, accented with deep black and vivid white. There is an abundance of variation in women’s shirts and knits, and in men’s many combination sets are being sold.

UNIQLO and LEMAIRE x Street Style

In street fashion, there are people wearing outfits that mix the simple colors of UNIQLO AND LEMAIR with other brand name items, and there are also of course people going with full blown head-to-toe UNIQLO AND LEMAIR outfits. Ideal outfits have a beautiful silhouette and simple coloring along with a chic and elegant mature style. Also it goes surprisingly well with casual items like jeans. However, with simple x simple coordinates, if you bring out taste with hats and glasses, as well as hairstyles, you can finish your outfit with an advanced style.

With the keyword “everyday”, UNIQLO and LEMAIRE makes clothes with the aim of being able to be worn 24/7, everyday, being both stylishly comfortable in the house, and lovely when going out into town. It is the second collection, and this season will unfortunately be the last collection, so get it while it's hot. The essence of LEMAIRE’s creativity is woven into UNIQLO’s everyday-wear clothing, and it is the most simple, comfortable collection of this season.
