A.P.C. Joins the Club, Does Liberty Prints
French contemporary brand, A.P.C. just launched a small collection of liberty prints thanks to a partnership with liberty fabrics. Retro florals and paisleys are not exactly new terrain for the brand, nor are the silhouettes used in the mini-collection: a folar smock dress, a knee lenght skirt, a carry all tote bag.
