French Label Études Studio Sets Pop-up at Harvey Nichols

ARTY COMBINATION: Known for its collaborative approach to fashion, French men’s wear label Études Studio has taken over Harvey Nichols’ lower ground pop-up space Project 109. The shop, which opened on Wednesday and is slated to run for five weeks, stocks the brand’s spring collection as well as an exclusive capsule consisting of a T-shirt and a tote bag, adapted from the collective’s latest “Dérives In,” or “Drifting In,” series, harkening back at the French notion of the “flâneur.” Both items retail at 80 pounds, or $99.50 at current exchange. Boasting the label’s penchant for art and photography, the pop-up also showcases images from video artist Colin Snapp, who shot the collective’s latest ad campaign. A multifaceted platform that produces apparel, edits limited-edition art books and provides creative services, Études is a studio established by artist Aurélien Arbet and graphic designer Jérémie Egry in 2012. It is backed financially by a swath of independent creatives, including DJ, producer and former Daft Punk manager Pedro Winter; Pierre-François Le Louët, president of the French Federation of Women’s Ready-to-Wear; and most recently singer Woodkid, who all swear by the label’s minimalist streetwear with an arty touch. Among this season’s standouts is a capsule of printed pieces inspired by the artwork
