Parisian Vibrant: Four Paul & Joe Essentials

Paul & Joe

The original Paul & Joe store was created in 1995 by Sophie Albion in London’s Covent Garden, and named after her two sons. The approach that Albion took to fashion in the mid-‘90s was to set her clothes apart from the crowd and establish Paul & Joe as a world leader in fashion.

Rocking trends

Take a look at Stylight’s Paul & Joe online store and you’ll get an idea that Albion’s attitude hasn’t changed. In the 1990s, when labels such as French Connection were focusing on creating a safe, yet stylish look, Paul & Joe went the other way. This period was a time in which young people were carving out a new identity for themselves; one that was retro, colourful and effortlessly cool. Paul & Joe took fashion brands such as Rieker completely by surprise, rocking the trends of the time rather than following them.

Iconic status

The Stylight Paul & Joe online shop also reveals that the brand has been elevated over its comparatively short life-span to iconic status. Celebrities, such as Julia Roberts, Kiera Knightley and Vanessa Paradis have all been drawn to the stand-out stance of this range of clothes. While brands such as Billabong design for certain lifestyle choices, Paul & Joe deliver desirable designer creations that can be worn by anyone. The only qualification to wear them is that you have a sense of your own identity.

Cutting-edge designs

At Stylight, we like to champion new and emerging brands. Browse our site and you’ll see items from Paul & Joe cheerfully holding their own against more established companies such as Marc Jacobs. To make the choice easier for our clients, we’ve carefully selected the best of the new Paul & Joe range, giving you the opportunity to buy cutting-edge designs, fresh from the people who make them. Enjoy your shopping at Stylight!
