PROTECTION


The word protection can be the one to emphasize perfectly this Craig Green´s collection, but if I look more accurate, this is actually his trademark since the beginning. Layered ensembles in earthy tones of military and bottle green, dusty-gray, charcoal, cognac and black, composed by loose pyjama-like trousers, boxy tops or more of a utilitarian version with some jackets clinched substantially at the waist, while others with extra stripes to tighten different arm-parts. The Green man gradually unbuckled, liberated itself showcased by puzzle-like leather pieces, that are laced together. Lliberatelly? Who knows? Or they are simply wounds from the victory fight? Maybe, because the finale was a pure galore of freely looseness, made available by washed and padded silk garments. He came into the Zen-place.

Following the huge success of Christophe Lemaire´s fall and spring collection for Uniqlo, the Japanese fast-fashion giant named the designer as the artistic director of the new Uniqlo Paris Research and Development Centre, but also to design a completely new line called Uniqlo U. Although Lemaire designed his previous Uniqlo collections with partner in business and life Sarah-Linh Tran, this new contract for Uniqlo U line sees Lemaire on an individual basis, said a representative for Uniqlo, but it's possible Tran will be involved at his discretion. The collection will debut during Paris Couture Week in early July, while in retail stores will hit for the Fall/Winter 2016 season.

"I am delighted to welcome Mr. Christophe Lemaire as a member of the Uniqlo team. I have time and again been astonished by his outstanding talent in working together to create the Uniqlo and Lemaire collection. I look forward to seeing more of the innovations that he inspires, and I am confident that his tremendous experience and talent will thrive at Uniqlo," Tadashi Yanai — chairman, president and CEO of Fast Retailing, Uniqlo's parent company — told Business of Fashion, where you can also read an exclusive interview made by Tim Blanks to Christophe Lemaire, here.

“I knew he could do something great,” says Jean Paul Gaultier about Martin Margiela in the 12-minute length new documentary about the well-known incognito fashion couturier. The film, originally screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, shows us designer´s history – from his 90´s deconstruction days till the end of his work as designer in the mid- 00`s.

EXPLORATION OF UNIFORM


…this is a red line for Craig Green F/W 2015/2016. The British designer used many military “elements” in his relax-shaped collection; we saw “trench-coat” jackets, slouchy-pants and padded-protective vests. Collection, made of masculine garments and fluid, has also its poetic and soft side; thick knit sweaters with a quite big single hole at the central part evoked vulnerability side, while tunics with ties around the chest and matching pants, represent a protective armor.
