BARBARA BUI

Leave it to a Frenchwoman to attribute something as American as popcorn and apple pie to a French origin. Jeans, or denim, can etymologically be traced back to French, according to Barbara Bui. Denim = De Nîmes, originating from the city of Nîmes and thus French. We could go for more of that. But when you come up with a denim-inspired collection where everything is so refined and surprising, from short, soft shorts to oversized sleeveless jackets with a subtle palm tree print, we forgive your chauvinism and your imaginative reasoning and say; bring on that collection. Vive la Bui.
