This smart uniform with classic luxuries items are: a cashmere sweater, kilts and twin-set, a pair of ballet pumps, an Hermès Birkin bag, and some accessories like a silk scarf, school satchels, pearl necklaces, and expensive watches.

BCBG is also to be known as "seizieme' after the 16th arrondissement, one of the most chic neighbourhood in Paris. This style was the symbolism of the style had its greatest power, it often looked more old-fashioned, the young dressing much like the old, with safe conservatism.
