Enfants Riches Déprimés treats clothing as an extension of Henri Alexander Levy's art practice, and denim is where that approach shows most plainly. Founded in 2012 and run between Los Angeles and Paris, the label works under Levy's "elitist punk" idea, where a finished garment matters less for its cut than for what has been done to its surface. Each piece is built to look used, marked and handled rather than new.
The denim is treated as a hand-finished material. The collection runs to slim and straight-leg jeans alongside flared and patchwork fits, worked over with paint, distressing, patches and hardware pulled from the wider house vocabulary. Every wash, tear and repair is deliberate, applied by hand in limited runs, so the damage reads as composed rather than incidental.
We carry Enfants Riches Déprimés jeans at Feuille, including flared, patchwork and distressed styles, all made in Japan and available online and in-store at our Vancouver boutique. Each pair is finished by hand, so the fading and repair sit differently on every one and no two wear in the same way.
