Head down to Uniqlo this Friday and you’re in for a very nice surprise: the latest collaboration between the Japanese fast-fashion empire and former Hermes designer Christophe Lemaire.

He heads Uniqlo’s R&D center in Paris, which is responsible for the brand’s minimal, fashion-forward Uniqlo U line.

Lemaire’s second collection for the brand (the first was a sales phenomenon when it hit Bangkok last year) features a beautifully slouchy array of looks for men and women, with denims and knitwear playing leading roles, along with Lemaire’s first collection of swimwear for the brand.

You’ll find it at just three Uniqlo stores in Bangkok: CentralWorld (3/F), Siam Paragon (1/F) and EmQuartier (2/F). Our advice: act fast! www.uniqlo.com/th
