It's stronger than us.
How can you not fall for it? At your fingertips, you have clothes you're proud of, camera equipment, an inspired art director, an iron, and a compulsive desire to put together outfits worthy of interest.
Of course, we end up getting carried away, getting ready and going out to parade.
These moments of clothing recreation are an opportunity to show you how we make our new products our own. With different styles, so that everyone can find inspiration.
On the menu, it will therefore be safari jackets and shark collar shirts, revisited with each person's own twist.
David, community adventurer
David is 1m88 tall and weighs 80kg. He wears our size 50 safari jacket and our size 32 straight bleach jeans . BonneGueule derbies and RRL henleys.
"I chose to build an outfit in a workwear/casual style, in keeping with the style of our safari jacket in short.
I wear it belted to really accentuate the waist and give it a more dressy look.
I know its beige/khaki color will go great with an olive green. Luckily, I have a textured RRL henley in exactly that shade. Sold."
"Bottom: jeans. But not just any jeans. I want washed denim, with character. I find the answer with our straight jeans.
On the feet, the range of possibilities is wide. I choose our terracotta derbies. Between casual and workwear, it's perfect."
“Here I am, ready to face all the situations in the urban jungle!”
- David, community manager
Nicolò, between beach, business and adventure
Nicolò is 1m71 and weighs 71kg. He is wearing our shark collar shirt in size M. Sellerie l'Hôte belt, Claudio Mariani pants, Meermin derbies, Yohji Yamamoto jacket.
"That day, I had the idea of producing an outfit that was, let's say, "a bit of a mishmash": not formal, not casual, but not in a conventional and predictable in-between either.
The shark collar shirt inspires the "cool" summer of decades gone by, but yet its immaculate white did not clash with the seriousness of the anthracite gray of my cold wool pants, which would have been at home in an investment bank office. And just as serious as its color could have been, its cut, slightly short, and its high waist gave it a little offbeat side that I wanted to exploit."
"For the shoes, I chose double-monkeys, which can be considered one of the most casual formal shoes.
Finally, this white, anthracite gray and cognac ensemble invited a fourth color so as not to be too austere. So I added the jacket in khaki and olive tones, with a downright adventurer spirit, and which had a perfect collar to allow the shark collar to rest delicately, constituting a perfect kitsch nod to the past."
- Nicolò, editor & chief curator
Kilian, vintage in black and white
Kilian is 1m84 tall and weighs 81kg. He wears our safari jacket in size 50. Garrett Leight glasses, vintage shirt, Levi's jeans, Vans sneakers.
"The safari jacket is a really versatile piece, it can be worn in a very formal outfit as well as in a much more casual outfit. So I wanted to associate it with a rather relaxed summer outfit, worn open and without a belt. It's summer, the ideal season to relax so let's make the most of it.
I wear a lot of shirts in the summer because they are a light and casual piece, in which I feel really good. This one is vintage, I found it in a thrift store. The cut is straight and I found that it went rather well with the color of the safari jacket. It also breaks up the dressy spirit of the jacket."
Kilian, just after making David rabbit ears.
"I pair the two pieces with white 501 jeans that I wear quite short. The 501 cut, quite straight, is the cut that I like the most, especially in summer because it allows me to breathe in my jeans.
All accessorized with a pair of old skool vans, a great classic, and a watch from the Nost brand."
- Killian, HR manager of our stores
Bertrand, the financial shark
Bertrand is 1m86 tall and weighs 70kg. He wears our shark collar shirt in size S and our Maruwa cotton-linen Bermuda shorts in size 46. Garrett Leight glasses, Lip Himalaya watch, Hast x Panafrica sneakers.
"This is a shirt, but not just any shirt, not the shirt I usually wear to the office, me the conventional of the team, the CFO in the suit and tie and well-polished double monks...
This collar, Cuban or shark, It's the call of the sea, of summer, of vacations... It's an easy but strong thing. A classy but deliberately slightly wrinkled fabric, the top button unbuttoned for a free Cuban collar, that's a good vacation cocktail!
Below, a pair of pleated Bermuda shorts, still in with this slightly dressed-up twist , and canvas tennis shoes, light, easy to put on with the leftover beach sand that you bring home.
Well, it's nice to dream, but I have to go back to the office and put my overalls back on... I have an accounting closing to finish!"
- Bertrand, Administrative and Financial Director, or CFO for short.
Christophe, captain of the Blues
Christophe is 1m74 tall and weighs 62kg. He is wearing our safari jacket in size 46 and our Maruwa chambray shirt in size S. BonneGueule pants and National Standard sneakers.
"Sometimes, it's with clothes, like with cooking. You'll taste new flavors, live new experiences, sometimes daring, you appreciate them and yet you remain unwaveringly attached to certain dishes. Without necessarily knowing why, like a childhood love that you never left.
My childhood love is blue. I love it in all its variations, from duck or petrol to almost black navy. Except perhaps the lightest ones."
"And to go with this khaki safari jacket, it's in my opinion the best of the supports. It's blue for the pants, blue for the shirt. Darker at the bottom, lighter at the top. And a little play on texture that gives pep to whoever looks closer. Seersucker for the pants, chambray for the shirt. On the feet, white leather sneakers, all sober."
- Christophe, editor-in-chief
Apparently, Christophe didn't know Zip the Penguin's joke.
Michel sets sail
I am 1m91 and weigh 88 kilos. I am wearing our shark collar shirt in size L and our Loro Piana lightweight jacket in size 54. Officine Générale pants, Loding loafers.
This shirt, I wanted to embody the dressed-up side of his dual personality. Let his collar rule over a jacket and play Tony Montana, minus the cigar and gold chain.
I wanted this jacket to be contemporary. Like the collar. Lapels without excess and a relaxed shoulder, like the collar too.
Below, to twist all that, I saw things in a big way. A big pair of pants that flouts the rules of the game. I think that above, someone talked about daring experiments. I recommend it.
In keeping with these light beige pants, I chose brown loafers. Light ones too. I think they make a great pair, don't you?
To your polls, get set, vote!
Let's make it interesting: if you have a favorite, make them win by voting for them.
For the winner, as a trophy, we have provided a pair of Mickey socks.
It's all in the comments, it's up to you to play!
