The Kooples is a fresh new Parisian brand, launched september 1st 2008 for the fall/winter season. created by the same three brother who launched
Comptoir des Cotonniers (a widely successful woman's line who's boosters have included
Carla Bruni), the line is centered around skinny fits, classic rock/punk styles refined, and a good dose of androgyny. in their words;
'the Kooples is a return of street chic, a London-Paris mindset, a musical inclination, fashion as a manifest, and a cloakroom for two. for five minutes or the last fifteen years, for one night, for some time, it is a way of life, a game'
deep. regardless, the brand looks tight top to bottom, and gauging by the solid base that Comptoir des Cotonniers has laid for them in the design/production department, it shouldn't be long before the brand establishes a North American presence.
