"The first time I got dressed elegantly was for the wedding of my parents when I was 7 years old. I was very touched by the party, the champagne, the outfits, the mood... I had been looking forward to enjoying it as well ! In love with an angel, tonight is a celebration of what we all appreciate the most in the world : free love. This feeling I do my best to feed all the time motivated me to create a collection around the theme of a wedding. More comfortable in the creation and technically, this eleventh collection is an interpretation of how I see my witnesses. I wish you all a good time." Text by Stéphane Ashpool, Pigalle's designer.
Seven years ago, a group of kids from the Pigalle area started playing basketball on the Pigalle Duperré court. Since then, they have grown and have become a team. For Pigalle's S/S 2016 show, they presented a short documentary titled “Ensemble” capturing a year of the Pigalle Basketball team and their coaches Stephane Ashpool – Pigalle's founder – and actor Paul Hamy. The projection was followed by the Pigalle Paris fashion show, showcasing a collection worn by each player of the team. Today, it was announced that Pigalle and Stéphane Ashpool is the winner of ANDAM's prestigious Grand Prix Style Award.
