UNIQLO COLLAB WITH INES de la Fressange
Uniqlo always has these incredible design collabs that focus on designers I am so happy to discover. Some I already know and love, while others I’m excited to be exposed to because they become fast faves.
Ines de la Fressange was a world-renown model for some time. A muse to fashion houses, she quickly became a style icon. And if you peruse the net for all of ten seconds, you’ll see why. She embodies that classic Parisian chic look and attitude that we can all envision with the blink of an eye.
Her collab with Uniqlo is highlights that Parisian aesthetic that brings an effortless je ne sais quoi to fashion. A combo of colours that evoke Paris in fall with a timeless silhouette and wardrobe staples that every woman needs this time of year.
I got two fall blazers and layered each in a different look with the Uniqlo Extra Fine Merino Wool sweater. The first look is the classic brown tweed blazer paired with a simple sweater that brings out a pop of colour. Combined with an easy and relaxed fit jean, it’s the perfect day look for that autumn day.
Speaking of fall, the second look kicks up the European vibe a notch or two. Complete with neck tie and Wool linen blend jacket for men in yellow (I took an xs in btw), I took to the streets of Paris in fall with that buttery yellow sweater and white jean. I love this jacket because it’s less structured and can be worn as a shirt, which is a layered look I’m excited to style.
Uniqlo is all about those spot-on collabs, and Ines de la Fressange is yet another out-of-the-park success. Her floral patterns and attention to detail in trim and fit just elevates even the simplest of skirts or dresses.
Her necklines are modest and as are the prices – it’s the type of collection you can buy by the capsule! I love her mix of vintage and luxury, comfort and sleek. If I were a movie or Netflix series stylist for a period piece, I’d probably just grab one of everything! Not kidding!
Parisian chic done with an inherent sense of beauty, I’m happy to have discovered Ines de la Fressange. Which is your favourite piece?
