Designer Invitation Project
Juliana Jabour
Jabour’s versatile collection of draped printed jersey dresses and tops
takes inspiration from the 1970’s and 1980’s. The asymmetrical stripes
and small prints add to her soft, feminine pieces and are available in a
soft palette of creams, blues and browns. Central to the collection is
the soft, draped jersey drawstring dress with a scooped jersey neckline
and delicate adjustable waistband, creating a versatile silhouette. The
collection offers a fashion forward take on traditional cotton and jersey
fabrics, using fresh and contemporary colours. Available in-store from
mid-March, from £24.99.
Alexander Wang
Wang’s innovative take on every daywear is perfectly captured in his
UNIQLO Designer Invitation collaboration, featuring inventively
designed dresses that will be the must-have items for Summer ’08.
The ‘pocket dress’ is a key item in this collection, featuring an
elasticised waistband and a cut-away lower back; this dress has been
beautifully cut to create fluid slouchy front ‘pockets’ and a stunning
silhouette. Wang’s monochromatic palette is indicative of his
sophisticated take on easy-to-wear women’s clothing. Available instore
from April, from £19.99.
Tim Hamilton
Ivory league prep meets vintage lower east side sets the tone for
Hamilton’s UNIQLO Designer Invitation collection. Hamilton’s collection
spins a romantic ideal with a contemporary style. Long length cotton
cardigans are worn with high gloss, boxy nylon blouson jackets;
mixing retro 70’s finishes with the classic Americana of the traditional
cardigan. To complete the outfit, wardrobe with traditional chinos in a
vintage slim fit or coloured denim in grey white or red. Available instore
from mid-March, from £19.99.
Loden Dager
Loden Dager is a New York City-based design collective established in
2005. Their UNIQLO Designer Invitation collection has been inspired
by Brighton mods on scooters featuring skinny tailored shorts and
jackets in muted shades. The overall palette is highlighted with
weather-beaten beach hut style colours, through the use of checked
jacket lining and short sleeve shirts. The overall feeling is a mixture of
1960’s soft tailoring, comfortable Riviera knits and fresh seaside
colours. Available in-store from mid-May from £12.99.
