manifeste011
today we're taking a peek inside the eco, ethical + animal-friendly paris fashion scene. manhattan had the factory, the studio for avant-garde pop artist andy warhol and a hub for talented artists + smartly dressed glitterati; today paris has an eco + ethical version: manifeste. i imagine if andy warhol had an apparel boutique to sate his appetite for cutting-edge clothing, including his signature black turtlenecks + finely-crafted tailored jackets, it would look a lot like this. a magnet for those seeking cool, minimalist pieces, visitors can expect clean fashion brands like good guys shoes in futuristic shades of silver; fade out unisex clothing made of deconstructed vintage textiles using handicraft methods; slinky, sexy little eco tees from by signe; and organic cotton denim from facon jacmin. handmade jewelry also on tap. stop in or shop it here.
