French Touch Apparel revealed its latest collection, inspired by American sportswear, in a lookbook starring models Alexander and Clementine Bia. The lookbook was styled by FTA's Elisabeth Dennis, while makeup artist Fabien Thoumelin and hair stylist Morgane Dufrane completed the looks.
The gorgeous duo is dressed in updated streetwear essentials, featuring eye-catching graphics and color-blocking, as they make their way about town. One glance at this lookbook and it's clear that Alexander and Clementine are the type of kids that don't think twice about acting cool; they just are.
Though the clothing is inspired by a distinctly American aesthetic, the French values that makes up the brand's core identity and foundation are still evident throughout the collection, creating a sophisticated style hybrid.
