History

Jean Touitou founded A.P.C. in 1987 as a reaction against the era's maximalist fashion trends. The brand gained international recognition for its rigid, unwashed raw denim jeans, which became a staple in minimalist wardrobes. Historically, A.P.C. bridged the gap between luxury fashion and streetwear through collaborations with artists and designers. Its consistent focus on essential garments established a blueprint for contemporary minimalism and influenced the development of the modern capsule wardrobe.
