THE DRG STYLE INDEX: Monographie, A.P.C, Louis Vuitton, Selfridges and more!

Here’s the latest weekly DRG STYLE INDEX ranking, a round-up of the brands and industry stories currently buzzing on my radar…

1. FRENCH GIRL STYLE: MONOGRAPHIE
Monographie shirt-based womenswear

French girl style? Yeah, we all know it’s a racket but we love it anyway. Here’s the lowdown on the Myth of French Girl style in Racked – it’s a long read but hits the nail on the head. My newest French Girl discovery is Monographie, a shirt-based line by Frenchie Aude Castéja. Read about it here (sub req).


2. THIRTY YEARS OF A.P.C

APC Hiver 87
More French fetishising – where would I be without A.P.C and its insouciant casualwear? It’s 30 years old this month and I’ve been wearing it almost that long. To celebrate, it’s releasing a capsule collection called Hiver 87, even though founder Jean Touitou hates the idea of anniversary collections. “I am proud of this history since we managed to remain relevant, even if sometimes boring. I am actually even proud of this boring factor, since it had so many different aspects along the time. This label; Hiver ’87, is not going to scream anniversary, but is going to mean it.” Buy it at A.P.C from 13th July.


3. LOUIS VUITTON X SUPREME X CELINE

4. SELFRIDGES LOVES MUSIC

Selfridges Music Matters
Ramping up the experiential factor in-store, Selfridges’ new seasonal theme is music. It’s turning its stores into live music venues, selling band merch and hosting DJ lessons and silent discos for kids. Plus Skepta is performing at the closing party. More info here.

IN OTHER NEWS…

After discussing the merits of 100% cotton, no stretch jeans on Keep It Chic a couple of weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal (sub req – sorry!) published an article hailing the return of old-school rigid denim. Check out this post for some recommendations of non-stretch denim from Preston and the KIC community.
