This season, blue washes over our collections in a palette of infinite hues – from the most pastel to the brightest. Get ready to be obsessed. You can start right here with our bluest crushes of the moment.
American Vintage blue
An underlying theme of the spring/summer 2023 collection, blue comes in every form this season. “Between tradition and anticonformity, it’s an obvious choice. The blue of the shorts brings sea mist to mind. The pastel of the padded jackets echoes the sky. The knitwear is crafted in a calm blue. The denims are dyed a pastel blue. Sporty, elegant, neutral or atypical, blue frees itself in gradations and contrasts,” points out Olivier Richaud, our men’s and women’s stylist.
The Denim Manual (Fashionary)
After deciphering fabrics, bags and shoes, Fashionary now releases its denim manual. An informative book to understand how denim is made, distinguish the variations of dyed finishes and (finally) know how to wash your jeans.
Agathe Hernandez’s Instagram account
Photographer, artistic director and founder of Cagnard Studio: Agathe Hernandez (@agathewhatyouneed on Instagram) has more than one trick up her sleeve. In fact, she also immortalised the pieces of a new project, which we’ll tell you about very soon. Her account is a contrasting pop ode to the Mediterranean.
The painting Dos Cabezas by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1982)
It’s not every day that we can admire Basquiat’s work (in person). This year, it’s possible at the Fondation Louis Vuitton during the “Basquiat x Warhol: À quatre mains” exhibition, from 5 April to 28 August 2023. The perfect opportunity to (re)discover this painting.
