Not only were the events of Mai’ 68 a heroic and powerful example of the people giving it back to the system, those plucky young students also accidentally provided a chaotic cat-walk for future socially/style conscious generations like us to be inspired by. Louis W’s APC collection for AW16 is a prime example of being directly influenced by the soixante huitards whose impressive jackets and knitwear all look like they’ve been sneakily grabbed from those angry young men whilst they were out rioting dans les rues. Knowing the French it’s hard to say which would have annoyed them more, the unbearably oppressive actions of Charles De Gaulle or having your favourite shearling bombardier jacket taxed, it’s a close call.
