Back in 2021, A.P.C. united with Sacai on what Jean Touitou – the latter’s founder and creative director – called an ‘accidental’ collaboration. Having first been approached by the Japanese brand to provide some denim jackets to customise for a shoot some years earlier, the capsule collection saw Sacai creative director Chitose Abe recreate these designs alongside a series of other denim pieces featuring the hybrid elements for which she is known (the signature A.P.C. denim jacket, for example, was inset with panels of the quilted fabric used to make bomber jackets). The project arrived as part of A.P.C.’s wider ‘Interaction’ series, which has seen the French brand unite with brands and figures including Lacoste, Catherine Deneuve, and Liberty London.
