Pigalle Summer 2021 “Freedom Fields” by Stephane Ashpool
Purple TV presents “Freedom Fields,” an ode to Movement & Music for the Pigalle Summer 2021 collection by founder Stéphane Ashpool. For Ashpool, biking is a fundamental part of daily life, an idea he wanted to communicate through the collection, full of flashy silk colors and leather patchworks made in Paris.
“The bike has a unifying power – it allows people to move freely: when they want and wherever they want. It makes even more sense in cities like Paris where everything is very connected.” – Stéphane Ashpool.
All items will be available in Pigalle’s Parisian boutiques.
