Love The Blue Shirt
Aude Jan has been making clothes since she was 8-years-old. Her mother, a former pattern maker for the couture houses of Christian Dior and Chanel, taught her to sew at that age. Jan would experiment with patterns left over from the Love The Blue Shirt ateliers, crafting clothing and accessories throughout her youth. It wasn’t until years later while living in Paris and getting to know her now-husband Charles Gout, that Jan would evolve her fashion talents and haute couture roots into a real business.
“When we arrived in Mexico City in 2017, there was an underground fashion movement with some talented designers,” Gout notes. “Today it’s a much bigger phenomenon. Like art, architecture, and cuisine, Mexican fashion is increasingly being recognized on an international scale.” He adds, “It’s great to live here because you can feel that we are in a place where a lot is happening and where young designers who used to look abroad for opportunities are revisiting their culture and tradition to propose contemporary and original collections.” A poetry book by a black female author, both speaking to our current times and future solutions.
