From the #APCArchives and the 2025 edition of MAGAZINE SINGULIER SPÉCIAL MODE: The A.P.C. Monogram Shirt. A.P.C. founder @jeantouitou’s interview with MAGAZINE SINGULIER: “Some of your early clothing had the names of writers embroidered on them. Some collections used the first names of authors to label the clothing. Why did you use these first names?” asked interviewer Joseph Ghosn. “They were comforting references,” JT replied. “People would always ask for names, so I would pick from the list of my heroes — in literature or music.” And as Interview Magazine noted in 2010: “Everyone loves a classic white shirt, but perhaps you’re tired of your own monogram.”
