Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces that it will launch the Uniqlo / Ines De La Fressange 2023 Fall/Winter collection from Friday, August 25. This LifeWear range celebrates the effortless Parisian style of Ines de la Fressange, a symbol of French chic and a style icon for women around the world. The collection reflects Ines’ ongoing commitment to providing timeless and beloved wardrobe essentials that all women can wear with comfort to reveal their beauty.
The spirit of “something inherited and passed on to the future” flows through this collection. It encompasses Ines’ desire for people to wear simple, tough, and elegant attire that will last and transmit essential and authentic values. Items such as warm pointelle knits and volume sleeve blouses are typical examples. The traditional shirt has stitching in a hand-finished style that gives it an authentic feel. Also appearing in this collection are authentic style sheer shirts and velvet long skirts with modern updates, as well as form-fitting 3D knits and padded shirt jacket.
For the 2023 Fall/Winter collection, Ines returns to the roots that first established her style. Workwear, which was in everyday use in France at the beginning of the 20th century, had a practical function that gave the garments a clean, minimalist style, which so appealed to Ines and explains why it is such an integral part of her wardrobe. She appreciates clothes made of natural materials such as cotton and wool, and that have a durability that allows them to be worn every day. Denim, which is said to have originated in the Ní®mes region of southern France, is a crucial material. Along with jeans, it is expressed through dresses, jackets, and shirts. Knitwear items have a color palette of orange and red that evokes a sense of nature.
Ines de la Fressange is the descendant of one of the oldest French families. She became a model at the age of 17 and was quickly recognized for her talent, becoming one of the most famous models in the world. She then signed an exclusive contract as a global ambassador with a luxury house. As a style icon, she is known for “effortless elegance” and her representation of Parisian art de vivre. In 2015, she re-launched her own brand that embodies modern “French chic.”
