American Vintage was founded in 2005 by Michaël Azoulay. Searching for an innovative concept, he drew his inspirations from his travels to the united states and took another look at the basic t-shirt. The collections have grown as the seasons passed by and they have been structured around increasingly stylish pieces. Year after year, American Vintage has been building a multifaceted wardrobe that breaks the rules and plays with daring mixes to suit all types of personalities.
2005: Launch of the American Vintage brand
After several trips to the United States, Michaël Azoulay drew on the infinite possibilities of cotton to launch a T-shirt line. The label was based on brushed cotton, roll-up and raw-cut hemlines, creating a characteristic loose fit.
