Backstage Spring-Summer 2022

Can you tell us about a pleasant summer memory? 

"One day we were stranded on an island with my family. The sea was too rough to leave, so we had to sleep in a hut made of wood and tin. When night fell, everything shook because of the storm. We were scared, then we laughed: it remains a good memory to tell."

French chic concludes a ten-year journey Since its launch ten years ago in 2014, the Uniqlo x Ines de la Fressange Paris collection has explored the timeless nature of French chic. The ten years of this collaboration with Ines de la Fressange combine to form a single melody, a concerto that makes LifeWear shine. Finally, the great LAST COLLECTION will be available this Friday 5 April in France and on 11 April in the United States.

From the banks of the Seine to the fine sands of Saint-Tropez Dedicated to the pleasures of the sun and the beach, the Vilebrequin and Ines de la Fressange Paris capsulecollection reinvents the elegance of a French-style holiday, whetherin the city or by the sea. Taking up the colours of our national flag and playing with stripes, the collection sails between blue, white and red, spreading the symbols and emblems of the capital all the way to the Côte d'Azur. The modernity shared by the two Houses transcends generations and keeps alive the heritage of a chic and playful art...
