BARBARA BUI

Leave it up to a Francaise to ascribe a French origin to typically American things such as popcorn or apple pie. Jeans, or denim have, etymologically speaking, their roots in France according to Barbara Bui. Denim = De Nîmes, originating from the city Nîmes, and so French. We know another one in that case. But if you then give us a denim inspired collection in which everything’s so sophisticated and surprising, from short, soft shorts to oversized sleeveless coats with a subtle palm tree print, then we’ll forgive you your chauvinism and your imaginative reasoning, and we’ll say: let us have your collection. Vive la Bui.
