Ah I love what I see on the last picture ! I din't know if it's a dress or a jumper + skirt, but this red outfit is beautiful.
I've never been won over by Lemaire's menswear, and I'm even less so with this collaboration. It's all so... plain. I adore simplicity, but with his basic design sensibilities and Uniqlo's mass-produced compromises, I'm not convinced this collaboration will bring anything special and unique-- definitely not with the menswear. I mean, I can put together my old Jil Sander and Calvin Klein pieces, mix it with some older Filippa K ones and some Black Fleece pieces and I'm good.
I have a few Uniqlo pieces, and the lack of quality: non-functioning buttonholes and non-functoning lapel notch for example, really leaves me cold. I get that these are consumer-freindly pieces, but I can get much better quality versions at a Club Monaco sale.
It's good for what it is but honestly i expected a little bit more.
I can buy most of the pieces of this collection at COS. The styling is great but not everybody is going to wear it sweater as a scarf.
From a design point of view, i find it a bit poor.
Those clothes are very modern, very now with a timeless appeal but as a collection and unlike the J+, it feels a bit done.
