When it comes to casual clothing, designer Pierre Maheo knows a good thing when he sees it. But that doesn’t mean he won’t change it. The founder and designer of Paris-based Officine Générale has built a solid reputation for his brand, both through his brick-and-mortar stores in Paris and London and online. That’s because Maheo and his team pride themselves on making interesting and accessible clothes with a focus on both innovation and consistency. Not cheap, for sure, but not sticker-shock-inducing either, Officine Générale means well-made, versatile clothing with attitude.
