Everyone knows that my love for monogramming has no bounds... Pillows? Naturally. Tote bags? Absolutely. Velvet smoking slippers (check out these beauties here)? Sure, why not? My rampant desire to emblazon my initials upon every item I own was confined to accessories and home decor until I saw Olympia Le-Tan's Spring/Summer 2015 line at Paris Fashion week. Monograms on every piece of clothing? YES PLEASE!
You may remember Le-Tan from her eponymous line of embroidered clutches based upon classic novels that were all the rage a couple of years ago. From the limited amount of French that I can deduce on the Paris Vogue website, Le-Tan's inspiration came from the British cult classic movies, St. Trinian's, about a motley crue of rogue schoolgirls more interested in hijinx than high tea (checking Netflix for it right now). "The fashion was inspired by school uniforms, mostly because I didn't get to wear one", says Le-Tan. Coming from someone that did wear a uniform to high school, I can tell you that these alphabet-laden beauties are far more exciting than the gray and maroon kilt that I did wear.
While we can't all fly to Paris to view the collection in it's alphabet-laden glory, it is available to see on the Paris Vogue website. You can view the entire collection here, or enjoy some snippets below!
