Although originally created "for the women of Paris", Claudie Pierlot's spirited collections prove that you don't need to be in view of the Eiffel Tower to inhabit the French-born label's traditionally unfussy aesthetic. Instead, its preppy range of womenswear, accessories, and shoes offer pared-back takes on classic styles that are also suited to city adventures beyond the famously picturesque Champs Elysées.
