Magnificent! Out of all the high street labels, the items I have purchased from Uniqlo are still in excellent condition, so I came assume that this is above standard, hopefully. It looks comfortable, predictable -- the casual everyday appeal that can easy be can switch over to formal. I'm impressed.

thanks for those links runner...
nice to finally see the whole thing...

all the styles are quite nice...
i think that the womens' t-nks will be a hard sell here in america, though they do look more like the loose ones that are so popular in japan, so i am curious to check them out...

my main issue is this- and it applies to all of these pieces...
when a style is so simple and classic, the only thing that makes it special is some luxurious fabrication...
which - of course- jacks up the price dramatically...
for this reason, i am a bit skeptical of the uniqlo version of these styles, but i will reserve judgement until i can actually feel the fabrics in person...

it's definitely very elegant...which is great...

thanks again!

Good god... look at all that navy, I want all the mens coats/jackets, and the pants and knits... so concerned about my excitement for this in the midst of stock market collapse, but poverty never looked so good...

i like the mens shawl collar sweater for 60$ and the womens cashmere turtleneck for $130.

a lot of the womens items seem too out of proportion for my body. the merino leggings seem as if they have a 40 inch inseam.

hopefully this collection won't run even larger. the +j items ran large IMO.

sorry I'm dumb (also at work) but how are you seeing the prices?, how much is that soontobemine navy coat with the hood? (womens)

just make sure you are reading the US version of the page that runner linked to:

I had no idea they're going to do another Ines collection, so I just checked it out. I'm afraid I liked the previous collection better. Too bad!

I agree and what a relief because that's one less pressure to buy on the other hand, the Lemaire collection should ruin me....

I'm impressed! I will definitely try to get my hands of this turtleneck sweater and the trousers. Love the combination!

 

[softgrey]

looks like kate hepburn's style...^^^

random but I really like that chair .. is there any way to find any info on it?

 

[runner]

the answer from uniqlo is that they can't find any info on the chair in the data they have there unfortunately.
the photographer for the lookbook (the latest version) styled by lemaire and sarah-linh tran themselves is alasdair mclellan.
so these people might have something to tell at possible online venues where you get to talk to them ?

 

[MulletProof]

so nice of you to ask! love you runner!

I don't have any social media where I could get in touch but I'll keep looking! I spent like 3 hours (maybe a little more ) browsing every catalog I could find (colombo, wegner, etc) until my eyes hurt, I'll get there ... I'm just curious, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to afford it any time soon!

 

[runner]

or if there is a forum somewhere that specializes in furniture etc where experts reside at, it would be good too ?

[softgrey]

thanks for the pics and the link runner...
it's not horrible-
i mean...it's a vanity project
"you, too, can look like carine roitfeld"
which i'm not sure i want to do...but it's fine as a capsule collection...
very cohesive with limited styles in several prints and fabrications...

looks a lot like what i already have in my closet though (including similar accessories),
so i won't be rushing out to buy...

not sure how i feel about those really square shoulders on all the coats and jkts...
...

the one thing that i'd really like to have is this...
i'm just a sucker for polka dots...
...

naoki takizawa is behind her here too.

anyway what I'm somehow reminded of is this:

^Thanks! Finally pics of the clothes worn by someone not "artistically" slouched, I was getting suspicious. Really like what she's wearing!

I look stupidly short in the hooded coat, fyi I'm 5'9, wtf. The front is not bad but the sides? like I'm about to take off and fly away. Flying Midget.
