UK-born fashion designer Hana Tajima shows how young women can dress stylishly while being culturally sensitive. And for her latest collection for Japanese fashion retailer Uniqlo, she presents an elegantly simplistic yet well-thought-out pieces.
Following the theme “Underground” for her 2019 fall/winter collection, Tajima focuses on the strength and beauty of women while incorporating masculine design elements. Comprising the collection are comfortable and versatile pieces for women of all backgrounds.
“There is beauty in change, and women especially are so adept at finding fluidity in adapting. Every time you step outside of what you know, you are uncovering a new part of yourself, and each new part will show you who you are,” said the designer.
She added, “I always keep in mind how a piece of clothing will move with the body. That is the interesting thing about designing clothes. They are not static pieces of art; they are made to be worn, to be creased, and to adapt.”
The key colors are sandy beige/brown earth tones reminiscent of subterranean layers, together with gem-like blues and greens. Inspired by minerals, the color palette expresses both masculine strength and feminine elegance.
New this season is the silk-blend series, available in dresses, blouses wearable as coordinates, and pants. The rich and refined luster of the material, and back shirring designs, create a comfortable and graceful style.
