A.P.C. snagged Jessica Ogden for their 13th Interaction collab
Jessica Ogden has long been a part of the fabric of A.P.C. In fact, her first collaboration with the French fashion house, helmed by close pal Jean Touitou, dates back to the early 2000s.

Now twenty years wiser, Ogden is back with an upcycled collection that echoes a range of wildly popular upcycled home furnishings that she devised out of the brand’s surplus fabrics over the years. Still committed to this spirit of innovation and circular fashion, the duo’s latest collab looks to the fun and the freedom of the 1980s with loose cut jeans, quilted denim jackets, shirts of patchwork plaid and sweatshirts bearing bright, smocked pineapples.
