From blue overalls to professional clothing
If we go back to the origins, the overalls are the first work clothes used by professionals of any sector in the accomplishment of their job.
We went to meet Pascal Barbot, chef, originally from Vichy. He created a signature dish for Lafont. We took the opportunity to ask him some questions!
I choose French brands if possible, according to their values.
The most important thing is the sourcing, the material and the way people work, as Terroir d’Avenir, we can assimilate Lafont to this philosophy.
The brand gets to the bottom of things. I had known about Lafont for years but recently rediscovered the products at a gastronomic event.
I was very sensitive one day when I tried on a jacket, I felt very good.
I found the jacket very nice, light, comfortable, it was not a stress.
For me, a garment must be part of oneself, one must feel confident with it, one must forget it like a second skin. There is a criterion on which we cannot cheat it is the quality, the fabric it is like a carrot or a cucumber, if it is made beside but that it is not good, that is not useful. Creating a network is the most difficult thing, it took me several years.
It’s exciting!
I like to work within a defined framework, I like to develop creativity within the constraints. Brands force us to create, to make custom-made products. it is a rewarding exercise and pushes our limits further.
For me, a garment must be part of oneself, one must feel confident with it, one must forget it like a second skin.
