The idea behind Blanc & Noir was to create quality, understated clothing with a
handcrafted look and natural feel that can be worn everyday. Simply put, designer Jean-Claude Leblanc wanted to create simply designed clothes that he and his friends would wear. Having spent many years traveling to find clothes he wanted to wear and paying premium prices for them, Jean-Claude founded Blanc & Noir on the belief that well designed, wearable clothing should be accessible. While adhering to these principles, Blanc & Noir insists on quality of both manufacturing and materials. Blanc & Noir garments feature custom treatments and hand finishing that contributes to the brand’s hand-crafted look and understated style.

By Tom Junod
Esquire Magazine, 30 September 2010:

In 1995, my editor asked me what story I wanted to write.

“Tony Curtis,” I said.

“Tony Curtis? Why Tony Curtis?” At the time, Tony Curtis was the definition of a has-been; he had gone from iconic leading man to a kind of spectacularly turned-out hanger-on, flagrantly bewigged and ultimately reduced in scale by the platinum-haired giantess he’d chosen to accompany him through his Hollywood haunts.

“Because he’s 70,” I said, “and he still gets laid.”
