I first got to know the brand Bleu de Paname when i was shopping in Colette. And since Colette always has unique brands, i just had to find out more about Bleu de Paname. After that, there is no coming back. I fell in love with the brand ever since. They make workwear look so cool without losing its quality. All of their products are developed and manufactured in France. Although they have only been around since 2008, they have accomplished so much and are already being sold in top stores around the world like: Colette, Dover Street Market, Trés Bien, Norse and many more. So here is the interview with Thomas Giorgetti – the one half of Bleu de Paname:
1. Describe your brand with three words:
Workwear, casual, made in France
2. Tell us why your brand kicks ass:
Its made by passion and human energy! Timeless pieces !
3. Name one accessory you cant live without and why:
My iPod touch, play it loud ! Most important thing to “play” my day from
home to work…
4. Fill in the blanks: When i was a kid ….. and now ….:
When i was a kid i do graffiti, collecting sneakers and vintage goods, and
now i co-create a brand with my best friend Christophe Lepine, we know each
other since the early 80’s! Nice story!
5. What would be your last meal:
A cheese plate with fresh bread and a glass of wine…and may be an espresso
at last!
Thank you Thomas for doing the interview and i wish all the success for Bleu de Paname!
