The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
A.P.C. was founded in 1987 in Paris by Jean Touitou. The brand makes denim jeans and casual clothing. Their raw indigo jeans became synonymous with the Japanese denim revival of the 1990s. Touitou's fastidious approach to fabric sourcing and minimal branding defined the house aesthetic. Today A.P.C. operates globally with a loyal following among denim enthusiasts and minimalists. The label maintains production partnerships in France and Italy. It ranks sixth in the Fashion & Footwear category across twenty-one thousand tracked brands. A.P.C. remains privately held and boutique-scaled, resisting fast-fashion expansion.
