Louis W.’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection for A.P.C., Soixante Huit (Sixty-Eight) takes a rebellious turn this year. Inspired by the May ’68 riots in France, the release conjures up a fiery youthfulness with its retro aesthetic. As the sentiments of of these riots are heard around the world today, the collection offers a modern take on classic French pieces like a navy military-style felt jacket and a canvas jumpsuit. The silhouettes themselves are not a huge departure for Louis W. –his past two collections for A.P.C. under the special line have featured similarly shaped bombers–but the context in which they are placed within history give them extra dimensionality; a subtler message than the slogan-focused attire seen at most current protests. Inspired by the youth of yesterday, these pieces are cut for the youth of today using luxurious furs, suedes, and cashmeres.

The collection of outwear and knitwear is now available online and in stores.

Video: A.P.C.

Louis W. for A.P.C. presents “Comfort,” a new short accompanying its Autumn/Winter 2015 collection. The collection—inspired by traditional British menswear—offers a classy selection of parkas, bombers, and cashmere and wool knit sweaters. Written and directed by Grant Curatola and Louis Levy, and shot on Kodak film, the film portrays the romance between two girls – Coco (Zaga Skerletovic) and ­Syd (Sasha Frolova). The movie starts with Coco lying in bed and having a casual conversation with her boyfriend Bruno (Bruno Di Corcia), telling him that she has met a new friend. Unsuspecting of where this would go Bruno asks, “Is she pretty?” As the two girls start spending more time together—jogging in the park, hanging out in Coco’s apartment, and dancing at night—the film becomes erotically charged, showing them whispering in each other’s ear and finally kissing. With “Comfort”—reflecting the narrative of Autumn/Winter 2015—A.P.C. and Louis W. continue to make not only fashion, but also captivating entertainment.
