Études Studio
ÉTUDES STUDIO: THE PARISIAN COLLECTIVE OSCILLATING BETWEEN ART & FASHION
FROM GRAFFITI TO THE FASHION WEEK CALENDAR
It all began near Grenoble, between two teenagers brought together by a shared passion for graffiti culture. Jérémie Egry and Aurélien Arbet designed their first logos on a computer and applied them to t-shirts. The first came from graphic arts, the second from the Beaux-Arts; they have been working together since 2000, between Paris and New York.
Before Études, the duo was already running Hixsept, an unapologetically street fashion brand, and JSBJ — “Je Suis une Bande de Jeunes” — a publishing house. Études Studio was born in September 2012 from the merger of these three activities—publishing, ready-to-wear and artistic direction—when product designer José Lamali joined the tandem. Two years later, the house joined the official Paris Fashion Week calendar and became a finalist for the ANDAM prize. At the beginning of 2025, José Lamali left the brand after more than ten years: Arbet and Egry once again took over artistic direction on their own, returning to the original two-man structure.
THE TWELVE STARS, A SIGNATURE THAT BECAME A MANIFESTO
In 2013, the collective reinterpreted the European flag on a series of fleece pieces. The twelve-star motif would never leave the collections again: season after season, it appears on sweatshirts, caps and t-shirts. By appropriating this emblem, Études expresses its values of multiculturalism rather than creating a simple graphic effect.
Another core stance: the brand has designed genderless clothing from the start. Listed on the men’s calendar, it was already sending women down the runway long before officially launching its womenswear line in 2017-2018. The cuts, from wide-leg trousers to oversized shirts, are worn interchangeably.
A PUBLISHING HOUSE THAT MAKES CLOTHES
Études is not just a Parisian streetwear label. It is at once a photo publishing house, a creative studio and a ready-to-wear brand—and as Jérémie Egry explains, this publishing activity gives them a constant eye on the art scene. Hence a list of collaborators unlike any other in fashion: Mark Gonzales, Gus Van Sant, Robert Crumb, Henry Taylor, Dike Blair, the Keith Haring estate, the New York Times, and the anti-nuclear movement Smiling Sun. On the brand side, the collective has collaborated with adidas, Karl Kani and Starter .
The resulting wardrobe remains understated: heavyweight jersey, merino wool, raw denim, technical nylon on jackets, and that screen-printed "É" logo that is enough to identify a piece from ten meters away. A minimalist design language that naturally places Études alongside AMI Paris and Arte in a wardrobe, and it works just as well with white leather sneakers as with a pair of Clarks Wallabee.
