By KENG YANG SHUEN,
It's one of those laments that we tend to hear over and over - women grousing that the menswear of any particular brand is more more functional/desirable than the womenswear department.
Sometimes though, the situation is reversed - for example, with French supermodel Ines de la Fressange's long time collaboration with Uniqlo, now in its eighth season with the Fall/Winter 2017 collection. Attending the media preview last season for the French-countryside-heavy Spring/Summer collection, I found myself lusting after the pieces - which were all women's pieces unfortunately.
This season it seems the fashion gods have heard my prayers - de la Fressange has debuted a small range of menswear in her F/W collection. Good news for those who love to shop with their significant others - here's our pick (both womenswear and menswear) of the collection, which drops in two batches (1 September and 20 October), exclusive to the Orchard Central and Uniqlo's online store.
