The Label
This high-end Parisian label is a study in extremes; both structural and flowy, modestly romantic and aggressively sensual. Barbara Bui has been successful in establishing and expanding the brand over two decades, branching off with two diffusion lines, accessories, fragrances, and even a café in Paris. Though she’s long been known for her trousers’ flattering fit, as of late Bui’s developed a reputation for her Italian-made accessories and shoes.
The Look
Simple, chic, and unequivocally French. Luxurious knits and furs hold court with well-tailored coats, jackets, and pants.
The Designer
Born in Paris to a Vietnamese father and a French mother, Bui grew up fascinated by language and studied literature at the prestigious Sorbonne. After graduating, she opened a multi-brand boutique, Kabuki, where she slowly introduced her namesake label, eventually opening an eponymous shop in 1988. Though she’s launched an accessory line and two diffusion labels, Initials Barbara Bui and Bui, she still works personally with her design team on every piece.
