ICONIC FRENCH is a US-based blog that explores and reveals the DNA of French Fashion. Taking a close look at HANDS OF OIZO, they asked everything about our ‘Metamorphosis’ collection…
Since the success of Coco Chanel bringing French prêt-à-porter to the US in the 5os, there’s always been a coveted mistery about the French inherent sense of style.
