American Vintage is the French label with the trans-Atlantic name. Confused? You shouldn’t be. Each American Vintage piece reflects influences from the US, both in impeccably casual cut and - in many pieces - a very deliberately aged look. Only the best will do when it comes to selecting materials. As founder Michaël Azoulay puts it: "We only choose the most beautiful, such as Pima cotton from Peru, harvested by hand.” With the label now enjoying global success - including, ironically, stores in the US - so American Vintage has taken on a cultural role too, sponsoring a major photographic prize.
Marseille-based Michaël Azoulay was just 23 when he founded the label in 2005, inspired by a trip to the US. Back home he assembled a team to design the perfect t-shirt and American Vintage was born. Those t-shirts remain at the heart of the label’s pieces today, along with rapid expansion into everything from a full menswear range to women’s dresses and jeans. Always, as Azoulay puts it today, "we do everything so that it has a soul and triggers emotions.” Not just that, but sustainability too, with denim, so often water-rich in production, at the heart of the company’s efforts to reduce its impact on the planet.
