This Buzzy Fashion Collab Blends Paris And New York Style

An homage to Paris with a pinch of New York, the Rouje x J Crew collaboration has landed. Shop the collection here …

“I’ve always been an admirer of Rouje. Jeanne really knows how to communicate feeling through her clothes,” says Olympia Gayot, the stylish creative director of J Crew. Hence, the two brands have collaborated on a limited edition, end of summer collection that celebrates the best of both New York and Paris charm. “We drew inspiration from style muses and icons who have always captivated us. Think Carolyn Bessette’s effortless elegance in NYC, or Laetitia Casta’s charm in La Bicyclette Bleue,” Damas says.

While the collection leans very much into the hallmarks of French girl style that the internet likes to discuss ad naseum, there are micro hints of a cleaner New York look with a simple string vest in the mix, as well as a ribbed tube skirt. Which, when paired with kitten heels, holds a nostalgic kind of glamour. There is denim as part of the collaboration – which looks particularly stylish when paired with a white tee and a smudged red lip – which sadly isn’t available to customers outside of the US. EU shoppers will have to lean into the slip style dresses and skirts which make for an eternal summer look.
