If I keep extolling Uniqlo’s virtues and bigging them up, I’m afraid I’m going to turn into their spokesperson or something but really I can’t harp on enough about them. In total, there have been 4 posts dedicated to Uniqlo. Well, what can I say! For a fairly style-complex child like me, when the simple stuff is as cheap and as good as this, what I can I say except ‘More more more!’ and as I have warned, the ‘more’ for spring is a treat indeed. The two forthcoming collections for Uniqlo’s Designers Invitation Project will probably spark the most interest State-side seeing as it’s NYFW faves Alice Roi and Phillip Lim. The collection is up and will be available to buy from the 20th April in all stores worldwide (do New Yorkers forsee a bit of a frenzy at their Soho flagship store?). I have to say, the Alice Roi collection is a little on the bland side. That’s an odd statement considering Uniqlo’s style methodology but most of it errs on the side of bad-simple save for these two dresses.
Phillip Lim’s collection however says good-simple all over. Well simple with a hit of plaid and sweet shapes and of course Lim’s trademark way of making women think ‘Hey… I really want to wear that…’. Once I have done my Uniqlo haul I’ll have my frollocking in LA sun outfits all ready (indeed I will be gingerly venturing out to the West Coast… will I be peturbed/exalted? Who knows..). I’m also hoping to bust out with my Uniqlo Lim paired with Real Lim outfits (I have surprisingly garnered quite a few real Lim pieces). It’s all a little Lim overkill and a bit ’90’s head to toe one label’ syndrome but frankly, I just don’t give a toss.
