I haven’t bought APC jeans for quite a few years. The last pair were beautifully rigid but too boxy everywhere so I hardly wore them. But always loved the quality of their non-stretch denim.
This APC collab with L’Etiquette (the best mag in France) might change all that. (more…)
Good to see Jessica Ogden doing a full fashion collection. And for A.P.C no less. Taking inspo from the patchwork quilts she has designed for A.P.C for quite a number of years, this capsule features quilted denim, patchwork plaid and smocking details using leftover A.P.C fabrics.
Unsurprisingly the collection is being snapped up fast. Look out for the Jessica Overshirt (above), Rjae Overshirt (a patchwork jacket for men), Andrea Jeans (a perfect mid-blue crop) and the Nicole Jacket, a soft, lightweight denim. (more…)
After overindulging in 90s trash movies, toasted Panettone and lashings of brandy cream, it’s time for a palate cleanse. Here’s mine: The Row SS21.
What’s nice is that you can recreate these looks with stuff you already own. Just super-starch the shirts and steam iron the pants so they have a crease so sharp they could stand up on their own. (more…)
I’ve spent a good few years fawning over AMI Paris’s menswear, so it’s great to see the fully realised womenswear come to pass. This sort of ‘vetements‘ offering is what the French do really well. The perfect trouser, blazer, sweater etc to create your basic ‘garconne‘ wardrobe to personalise as you see fit. Watch out A.P.C!
Of particular interest to me is the outerwear. (more…)
