This brand’s cult standing goes back more than two decades. But, until recently, Claudie Pierlot was mentioned less. That’s because, three years ago, its namesake founder passed away. The brand took quite a bit of time to recover.

Madame Pierlot started out as one of the city’s premier stylists, first for Dorothée Bis, then Mafia, then Printemps. In 1984, she launched her own label and, by 1990, it had clinched a fresh identity. The Claudie Pierlot girl is a carefree Parisienne.

The look is distinctive, charming but never cloying. Madame Pierlot managed to update Paris fashion icons, creating bold marinières, delicate polos and cardies, breezy car coats and chic pencil skirts. Her suits and dresses come in gamine colors and fabrics; fans especially love the personalized berets.
