While we were visiting
Paris men's fashion week last June, we were suddenly taken on a
fantasy cruise that sailed from Le Havre to Madagascar.
Paul & Joe surprised us with a stunning collection in a beautiful setting.
Designer
Sophie Albou-Melchaly managed to combine pieces from
two very different styles into just one collection. She did a wonderful job: it turned out to be a charming collection that is very bold and exiting, yet totally wearable and whimsy. That's what Paul & Joe is all about!
On the one hand, we saw pieces that (we believe) are typical Paul & Joe:
"classic sailor chic." ;-)
Navy colours with white and red accents, anchors, fish and sea horses prints, beautiful knits,...
On the other hand, they made this
stunning tropical print, with tigers and giraffe peaking through bright-coloured foliage. In other words,
prints were key for this collection.
Paul & Joe also chose to make some
sartorial pieces, like the
fabulous slim fit
houndstooth suit, pictured down low. Don't you just love it?!
Finally, the brand collaborated with a new up and coming brand for the
swimwear of this collection. They opted for
Piscine Municipale, a brand by two best friends Adrian and David. Each piece of swimwear is decorated with a discreet
cheetah head (the brand’s logo) embroidered and a
tiny tricolored flag for the French touch. Check out the pieces of Piscine Municipale down below!
