Brand information:
Marithé Bachellerie and François Girbaud are the founders of multiple clothing lines, often revolving around durable fabrics such as denim and canvas. Their brand was very successful in the 70s and 80s because they developed the industrialized denim stone-washing. Bachellerie and Girbaud have proclaimed that their brand identity is inspired by the french provocative youth scene of the last quarter of the 20th century. To me, M+FG is worth recognizing as an important cornerstone in modern RTW for its figurative, rebellious, and yet very aesthetically pleasing rework of classic materials and shapes. Marithé+François Girbaud is, therefore, an interesting hybrid between classy and provocative wear. The combination of the two opposites holds a certain youthful stubbornness which I find quite charming.
