First collection directed by Mr. Lemaire as part of UNIQLO

Mr. Lemaire, following his past achievements as artistic director of world-class brands and maisons such as Lacoste and Hermès, has collaborated with UNIQLO for two seasons from 2015AW to 2016SS with his own brand “Lemaire” and UNIQLO “UNIQLO AND LEMAIRE”, a collaboration between his own brand “Lemaire” and “UNIQLO” for two seasons from 2015AW to 2016SS, which has received a great response and sales results all over the world.

The success of “UNIQLO AND LEMAIRE” led him to go beyond the framework of collaboration and become a member of UNIQLO from this season. As artistic director, he will lead the R&D center in Paris to launch the new line “Uniqlo U,” and expectations are undeniably high as this is the first installment.

LifeWear’s new proposal with new ideas in clothing making
