A.P.C.’s latest quilt collection sees designer Jessica Ogden create a series of blankets and cushions using deadstock fabric from the two fashion brands
Back in 2021, A.P.C. united with Sacai on what Jean Touitou – the latter’s founder and creative director – called an ‘accidental’ collaboration. Having first been approached by the Japanese brand to provide some denim jackets to customise for a shoot some years earlier, the capsule collection saw Sacai creative director Chitose Abe recreate these designs alongside a series of other denim pieces featuring the hybrid elements for which she is known . The project arrived as part of A.P.C.
‘Once the concept of staircases for the [collection] was proposed, Chitose immediately got it, the staircases being a metaphor to travel up,’ says Ogden. ‘The beauty of these structures is both abstracted and at times very perceptible. The mix of fabrics again shows the two companies in “talks” within an object; A.P.C. and Sacai fabrics from many different years blended in one quilt.’
Touitou adds, ‘ex nihilo creations [can] happen if one is a genius, [but] us humans, we need a starting point or two in order to create. In this story there’s a desire of doing something out of fashion – I mean not apparel – and create some automatic writing using fabrics. The other thing is to use staircases as a visual starting point that could lead to metaphors or just beauty. Or hopefully both.
Described as ‘at its core a sustainable proposal from A.P.C.’, the quilt series – now in its 23rd ‘round’ – has seen Ogden previously draw inspiration from the work of Bauhaus artists Josef and Anni Albers and the landscapes of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, among other reference points. This latest series is photographed by Alfredo Piola in New York.
