RUNWAY: Lemaire SS17

Christophe Lemaire, half of the design team at Lemaire, has recently taken up a new position at Japanese retailer Uniqlo to be its artistic collection after two successful capsule collections. That'll debut next month in Paris. Back to the collection at hand, for SS17, the pared back label showcased a sporty but tailored collection that highlighted a lightweight and flowy silhouette with some cool technical fabrics. This was most evident in the plethora of coats and jackets that were shown, one on nearly every model, they were light and utilitarian, while blousons, pants and some elongated tops rounded out the collection.
