Jessica Ogden & A.P.C. ‘I went to Paris with a collection and shared a showroom with a couple of London designers, and he was bought in by a stylist, Christoper Niquet, and he like what he saw. He commission one of my skirts from that collection to be in the ‘A.P.C.’ collection. It was a skirt printed with stencils and the shape was a pleated wraparound. It was that project, and then we did a project with him sending over like fifty garments a month for us to customise. That was mad. We would get the box and there’d be anything from knickers to jeans or whatever. We’d go a bit crazy on them. It was an intense project. We ended up going to Japan to do the same thing over there, which was super exciting. There have been several projects over the years. We just became closer, more like family. I spend time in their family home now and actually am the godmother of their daughter. It was a fateful meeting that was amazing. - Jessica Ogden, Designer on how she met Jean Touitou ‘A.P.C.’. Designed by ‘A.P.C.’s’ brand founder Jean Touitou and Jamaican-born fashion designer Jessica Ogden meet your new love, ‘A.P.C.’ quilts. Ogden is known for her involvement in the growing popularity of salvage fashion and in particular her work with old and distressed fabric, a theme which she has explored since the launch of her own label in 1993. As a result, the quilts are a patchwork of cotton and silk fabrics in multiple colours, hand-quilted over a thin padded backing. Ogden arrived in London at the end of the 1980s at the age of 18. She was born in Jamaica but went to study at ‘Rhode Island School of Design’ in New York. After the first year, she spent a summer in London and decided it was where she wanted to be. She enrolled at 'Byam Shaw School of Art’ with the intention of becoming a sculptor. But between her second and third year making conceptual art work, she heard about ‘Oxfam’s No-Logo’ project, a pioneering scheme to use old clothes and up-cycle, customise and remake into something new and relevant. From those early experiments at ‘No-Logo’ she went on to launch her own label in 1993. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfR24mFUXZ/?igshid=1tti3pfh7awfm
