I'm very sorry but I don't like it. It looks like Comptoir des Cottoniers mixed with Eileen Fisher - and I'm not sure what age demographic this is going to appeal to.
Most of it is a consequence of how oversized everything is. The outerwear and knitwear looks fine and could work very well, but the shape of the dresses could overpower the wearer very quickly. The shapes are also a bit repetitive. A couple of slim-fit items would've balanced out those A silhouettes very well.It will do very well with the average Japanese consumer. I'm not sure if it has international appeal.
Yes, some of the shapes could definitely work better if they were cut closer to the body.Most of it is a consequence of how oversized everything is.

In hindsight, I never really liked Fast Retailing's brands (Uniqlo, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Theory, Helmut Lang) approach design. It always feels too literal and single-minded.
Uniqlo high heels is not something we want to see don’t you think?The clothes are nice , the shoes are horrible, lets make high heels great again.
And i don't get the praiseI don’t get the criticism…
It's quite bland and really boring and not fashion forward
Why not?Guys...you want fashion forward...at Uniqlo? Really?!?
I don’t get the criticism…
It’s her first collection for the brand. I don’t expect her to be adventurous. It needs to perform for her to really be more expressive. Even if I’m not into the Parisienne cliché, there are some solid pieces…Sure they didn’t need Clare for that, but they are…

I don’t understand this appointment. Uniqlo does not need a public creative director. I cherish Uniqlo for its non-Eurocentric point of view - it’s created mainly in response to the need, trends, styles, and body types of Japan. I’m not sure how Clare can tap into that organic pov.
