From French twist to retro chic
Despite the name American Retro is a French label. Parisian designers David and Gregory Pariente founded the label in 2002 and have been named ‘wonder children of the fashion world’ by Elle, because they create garments that capture both the relaxed Califorian allure and classic Parisian chicness. American Retro is that label that season after season creates clothes, shoes and accessories that match the trends to perfection – often by adding studs, sequences, unique fabrics or lovely prints – but yet are so classic and understated that each style can be worn again and again – and for years to come. The recipe for their success can be found in the fact that they are inspired by the relaxed American esthetics and combine this feeling with the sophisticated and edgy Parisian sense of style. The result is classic, all time favorites – the little black dress, the lovely shirt, the nipped in jacket and the long cardigan – that are always up to date. Another American Retro trademark is the amount of details put into each garment – complicated embroidery, knitwear, unique fits and retro inspired prints. The overall purpose of the label is to remain creative yet approachable. You only need to look once at their dresses, shirts, jackets, accessories and shoes to realize that have accomplished just that. |
