Uniqlo to collaborate with Lemaire
Japanese casual clothing brand Uniqlo is to collaborate with Lemaire, the label set up by former Hermes artistic director Christophe Lemaire.
The new collections for men and women will be available worldwide in Uniqlo stores and online from Autumn/Winter 2015.
Fast Retailing chairman, president and chief executive Tadashi Yanai said: “Lemaire’s approach to design respects individuality and merges perfectly with the Uniqlo LifeWear philosophy, aimed at making life better. I myself am really looking forward to getting a glimpse of the results of our tie up, and am thrilled that we are able to bring it to our customers around the world.”
Christophe Lemaire and his fellow designer Sarah-Linh Tran, added: “We have always dreamt to work with Uniqlo. Uniqlo designs qualitative and made for all garments for everyday life, for everyone. It is also our approach to fashion, and the philosophy of Lemaire.”
