A . P . C .

The inspiration for A.P.C.'s Jessica Ogden Quilts Round 26 comes from the Ogden family's artistic legacy. "In 1969, my mother, Annabella Ogden, went to Jamaica to raise funds for Operation Friendship, a school and training center for disadvantaged children in Kingston," says Jessica. "She created greeting cards featuring drawings by local children and artists, along with textile art from my grandmother, Joan Ogden, a skilled batik artist. Joan, or 'Grandma' to me, did a series on butterflies, which became the starting point for Round 26." Round 26, divided into seven color groups, reflects the vibrant diversity of butterfly wings and the artistic influences Jessica grew up with. Jean Touitou added a psychedelic touch, inspired by the album cover of the band Iron Butterfly. Each quilt is named after a butterfly, with the idea guiding the design process but never literally portrayed, Jean explained. Photographed by Alfredo Piola.

A.P.C. has teamed up with SUBU for a capsule based on the Japanese brand's famous 'winter sandals', which are popular all over the world.  To mark the occasion, SUBU's two flagship styles have been designed in A.P.C.'s signature materials and colours: black, beige, nylon khaki and faux wool. A total of five blended styles that combine warmth, softness and functionality. This cross-over will be available in stores and online in November, just in time for the end of year gift-giving.
