The LONGCHAMP UNIVERSITY collection features college sweatshirts, Bermuda shorts, floaty blouses, and seventies denim. This season’s muse is a student who has come to Paris to absorb its culture and fashion. She mixes with her university peers in a cosmopolitan melting pot, wearing seventies-style pants and peasant blouses with a vest. Her tiny Epure bag with a built-in pencil and notebook hints at her specialist subject: fine art.
Her new uniform is a sweatshirt emblazoned with the Longchamp college logo, which she pairs with a chic piece such as a leather skirt or gabardine bermuda shorts. She accessorizes her look with a sophisticated Le Foulonné purse or a Très Paris shoulder bag.
When she leaves class to stroll around Saint-Germain-des-Prés, browsing galleries and exhibitions, she is easy to spot in her jacket and pants, which she wears with a t-shirt knotted at the waist. She loves a bag that leaves her hands free, such as the tiny Le Pliage Xtra vanity case with its colorful beads, which she slings across her body.
As an art lover, she treats prints like a canvas, wearing jeans and a jacket in a matching pattern. She will happily also pair floral pants with a coordinating vest. And yet she never hesitates to mix styles – chic and hippy, sexy and sporty.
THE ESSENTIALS OF THE STYLISH STUDENT LOOK
Even though denim rules on campus, students at LONGCHAMP UNIVERSITY raise the tone with gabardine bermuda shorts or a leather skirt.
Colors are understated (grey, navy, sienna, mahogany, sage, and apricot), but bags come in bold shades, such as orange, green, or even white, which stands out against deeper hues.
