Global apparel retailer UNIQLO will be launching the UNIQLO / INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS 2024 Spring/Summer collection starting Friday, April 5. This collection of LifeWear 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 2024 Spring/Summer collection will be the finale for this long-running collaboration with UNIQLO.
The partnership first began with the 2014 Spring/Summer collection, and over the past decade has brought timeless French chic to a global audience while capturing the beauty and playfulness of women. This final chapter retains the same essence of the Ines philosophy, which has remained unchanged since the first season, offering a wardrobe for every woman.
Timeless French chic
This collection is a return to French basics, suitable for the final chapter, and reflecting Ines’ penchant for styles that make the wearer feel comfortable. Denim coveralls in light ounce denim with cotton for softness of the material. Linen cotton skirts with a fluffy silhouette and classic cotton shirts are emblematic of the timeless, beloved items favored by Ms. Ines.
Ms. Ines de la Fressange shared her thoughts on the collaboration: “This is the last collection I am doing with UNIQLO, and I think it’s very beautiful. It’s a perfect representation of everything we have achieved together. I am very proud of it, and I am sure it’s going to be very popular. I have loved working with UNIQLO over the past 10 years, which has enabled me to bring my ‘elegant casual’ style to millions of women around the world. I know that after this last season of spring-summer 2024, many women will be disappointed not to be able to find the collection in stores and on the website, but there’s no need to be sad! For the future, I am working on new projects, and I will be happy to give a rendezvous soon to women who, like me, love Parisian Chic.”
Fast Retailing Group Senior Executive Officer Koji Yanai commented: “The beginning of our collaboration with Ines-san was something fateful. It all started when I discovered a line in one of her books or interviews that she said ‘Uniqlo is my favorite.’ The collaboration has lasted for 10 years and is one of Uniqlo’s longest. Throughout our partnership, Ines-san has continued to express a style that symbolises French chic, something that is synonymous with Ines-san herself – a style that is simple and chic, but never forgets to be playful at the same time. This, I believe, is due to the simple and positive lifestyle of Ines-san, someone who is intelligent, straightforward and always shows a smile on her face. I am confident that our customers will enjoy our final collaboration line. Ines-san, thank you for the wonderful 10 years of our partnership.”
The 2024 Spring/Summer Collection Overview features a launch date set for Friday, April 5. The collection will be available at 45 stores, including their online store. However, in Malaysia, only selected items will be available at all stores.
