World-renowned designer Barbara Bui has been one of the leading lights of Paris’ fashion scene since 1983, when she opened her first studio-boutique on the rue de Turbigo. Marked by muted hues and spot-on construction, the Barbara Bui aesthetic relies heavily on hard-edged, rock-and-roll details. Her recent ready-to-wear collections boast much in the way of asymmetry, tuxedo accents, second-skin fits and chic color-blocking. Just as razor-sharp are Bui’s accessories — a tightly edited group of rockabilly boots, sacs (bags) and shawls, plus an array of chain-heavy jewelry — and her sleek, sexy shoes and boots.
