Drôle de Monsieur | An authentic French label, Not From Paris Madame

A Parisian brand that is not from Paris

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, few relatively new brands manage to make a true impact on the industry. Drôle de Monsieur, founded in the small eastern French town of Dijon, has made this impact. The Parisian based brand describes itself as a prêt-à-porter brand. Founded in 2014 by Dany Dos Santos and Maxime Schwab who saw themselves as outsiders in the fashion world with no specific background in design.

When creating their first collection, they were inspired by their motto Not From Paris Madame, which remains their trademark to this day. Each season, Drôle de Monsieur releases a new collection for men that reflects their unisex vision, combining a modern attitude with a retro aesthetic. Each item is designed for everyday use. Drôle de Monsieur's modern designs combine seamless comfort, clean lines and precise details.

Le slogan

Not From Paris Madame, has been the brands slogan since the founding of the brand in 2014. It's a reference to recognizing the potential of artists all around the world and not only focussing the fashion and art industry on the main metropolitan cities like Paris. One of the brands goals is to team up with inspiring artists around the world, who have built their art and world far away from the big city life. For them talent comes from everywhere and Not From Paris Madame

The spring/summer season

The current spring/summer season from Drôle de Monsieur finds its inspiration at the tennis court. Unique sportswear style apparel that really catches your attention with its flamboyant colours and drawing style. The collection reaches wide with for example: reversible jackets, shorts sleeve shirts with artistic patterns or unconventional materials like a crocodile leather gilet. Also the slogan collection has been reinvented this season with a lot of fresh colours and new design work.
