Modegeschiedenis
Sophie Mechaly founded the brand in 1995, naming it after her two sons. Initially launched as a menswear collection, the label expanded into womenswear in 1996 to meet consumer demand. Paul & Joe gained cultural significance by challenging the minimalist trends of the 1990s with colorful, patterned designs. The brand later diversified into cosmetics and eyewear, establishing a presence in the global market while maintaining its independent, family-run structure within the French fashion industry.
