Behind the Brand: A.P.C.

Known for it’s minimalist designs and timeless aesthetic, founded by Mr Jean Touitou in 1987,A.P.C. (which stands for Atelier de Production et de Création) was born from a reaction against the ostentatious fashion that was all the rage in Paris at the time. With a belief that clothes should not overshadow the personality of the wearer, A.P.C. quickly became renowned for its simple, well-tailored wardrobe staples, inspired by workwear and free from embellishment. Today, the label’s stylish, pared-down aesthetic seems as appropriate as ever; while trends come and go, there is something reassuringly constant and no-nonsense about Mr Touitou’s signature brand of Parisian cool.

The brand’s Paris headquarters has a recording studio that both staff and bands can use (the rapper Mr Joey Starr is currently in residence). A.P.C. also release special edition band T-shirts. Mr Touitou once stated, “We make noise not clothes.”
