&ldquo;Our Spring Summer 2019 evokes a conceit of soft masculinity, where the spirit of a West Coast vagabond traverses early Hip Hop&rsquo;s forgotten glory."

Back in 1999&mdash;which in today&rsquo;s news cycle feels like ten thousand years ago&mdash;young graffiti artists J&eacute;r&eacute;mie Egry and Aur&eacute;lien Arbet launched a streetwear label. The two also dabbled in graphic design and photography, so they started publishing &lsquo;zines and books a few years later, as well as spearheading some commissioned creative work. In 2012, with the help of a few of their friends, Egry and Arbet rolled all of their endeavors in one, creating &Eacute;tudes Studio, the part fashion label, part creative industry, part book publisher responsible for <a href="https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/etudes-the-new-york-times-collaboration-fw18/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that New York Times collaboration</a> you coveted last winter.
The brand is based out of New York and Paris, and the duality of these cities is&nbsp;central to the brand&rsquo;s aesthetic:&nbsp;&ldquo;The history, the culture, the people, the architecture of this two cities is different, and in that sense, they are complementary,&rdquo; say&nbsp;Arbet and Egry. &ldquo;Creating a dialogue between opposites can create interesting projects, the challenge is to find the right balance.&rdquo;
They have only one store, at 14 Rue Debelleyme in Paris. Having a physical store was important to the founders, who wanted to create a retail experience that was an extension of their online presence.
Their latest menswear collection was made in collaboration with LA-based painter Henry Taylor. &ldquo;Our Spring/Summer 2019&nbsp; [collection] evokes a conceit of soft masculinity, where the spirit of a West Coast vagabond traverses early hip hop&rsquo;s forgotten glory. The collection is a melting pot of cultural symbolism, considering the codes of uniform and their place in the postmodern wardrobe.&rdquo; They also recently released their <a href="https://www.hanon-shop.com/blogs/news/adidas-consortium-x-etudes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collaboration with Adidas</a>, which includes an UltraBOOST sneaker, raincoat, hoodies and more.
Because the duo can't help but have a finger in every pot, they also have <a href="https://www.rizzoliusa.com/book/9780847862979/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a book</a> coming out that captures the first few years of the brand, published by Rizzoli. When &Eacute;tudes Become Form: Paris, New York, and the Intersection of Fashion and Art has contributions from Ari Marcopoulos and Gus Van Sant, among others, and will be available starting October 2, 2018.&nbsp;
