I've been a big fan of designer collections for chain store retailers for years. Target , and H&M , being at the forefront of this phenomena for quite some time now. More recently I've started looking towards Uniqlo's unique "designer" partnerships. I type "designer" with quotes because these collaborations have not been with the standard designer brands, but instead with fashionable individuals who are more like icons than straight-up designers who have a business manufacturing clothes. Case in point, the latest offering from Uniqlo by Carine Roitfeld ! Faux Fur Coat Pointail Sweater Silk Stole Tights Wool Blend pants True this is mostly a grey, black, navy, & brown collection, which some may argue is a bit dreary, however I think it's an ideal mix of quality basics for the upcoming winter. Plus the textures on each piece make them standout and anything but boring. For more info on Uniqlo's presence here ...
