LookBook Love: The Kooples

Parisian brand The Kooples make cool clothes that both parties in a couple can wear. Their pieces are a mixture that always includes well-cut blazers/jackets, pants and shirts with a rock and roll attitude.

So if you’re always digging in your boyfriends/husbands closet this is where you need to shop for him/you.

Here is a look at their recent Ad campaign, that I love because not only do they use real couple, but they use all “types” of couples.

It’s a concept where they take couples who’ve been together anywhere from 2 days to 20 years and shoot them together in the collection.

Each couple has a video interview too. tres cool!
