Love At First Sight: A.P.C. X Liberty Shift
March 24, 2009 11:06 am
What: Psychedelic boho for summer in Soho
Why: The easy little dress got no love on the Spring runways, but when the temperature starts creeping up, there’s really nothing a girl would rather throw on for a run around town. A.P.C. has long been the source nonpareil for these no-brainer pieces, and now brand founder Jean Touitou is throwing a bone to his trend-minded fans by introducing a few styles made from Liberty prints. The Liberty archives are having a moment—Cacharel tapped Liberty for a special Spring ‘09 collection celebrating its 50th anniversary, for example, and brands ranging from Lover to Opening Ceremony have used the company’s microflorals this season—but the pictured A.P.C. x Liberty shift seems to sum up the print’s enduring boho appeal. The unfussy silhouette is the perfect canvas for Liberty’s psychedelic paisley, and the crocheted neckline is hippie without being dippy. Now we just need the weather to get with the program.
Where: $180, at A.P.C.

Where can you buy this? I noticed it’s not on the APC site… will it be there later on or is it retailing somewhere else. I’d like to inform my readers!
