French fashion and cinema icon Catherine Deneuve has turned to fashion design for French label Atelier de Production et de Création or APC.

Deneuve is bringing her iconic style to a special collection for APC, as of Sept. 28.

Known throughout the world as a paragon of French style since the 1960s, Deneuve has also been a muse for a host of illustrious designers such as Marc Jacobs and Yves Saint Laurent. A taste of her timeless style can now be found at APC, thanks to the brand’s 7th “Interaction” collaborative capsule.

For the first time in this series of collaborative capsules, Jean Touitou, founder of the brand and star designer, let the guest contributor take his place.

“A.P.C. gave Catherine Deneuve total creative freedom and access to its workshop and fabrics, inviting her to express her vision of chic, touched with whimsy,” read the label’s Instagram account.

APC has previously collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Gwyneth Paltrow, Suzanne Koller and Kid Cudi. CC
