We’ve just received our first delivery from Blanc & Noir Spring/Summer ’11. The new season is looking great, with plenty of lightweight shirting, sweats, and some of the best fitting cargo pants we’ve seen in a long time. This season’s inspiration from the brand’s website:

Amid the German occupation of France during World War II, groups of men escaped into the mountains to avoid capture and forced labour for Germany.

These Resistance cells eventually became organized, publishing underground newspapers and providing military intelligence and escape networks to allied soldiers. These men came from all economic levels and political leanings of french society, including the Jewish Community, Roman Catholics and communists.

We’ll be receiving more shipments within the next month or so, so keep checking back for outerwear and more. ¬†Shop the new collection here.
