It must be said that its pretty sunny terrace and its Provençal specialties represent real heart assets. We tested it for you… Verdict. Notice to Parisians in dire need of vacation.

After Kate Moss, Dree Hemingway or even Anna Ewers, Liu Jo presents a new muse and not the least! This season, it is the American top model Kendall Jenner who lends her face to the brand. The magnetic mannequin perfectly embodies the two facets of the same person – a rock and authentic side and another more chic and feminine side – just as Liu Jo expresses the different facets of each woman, going from denim to the main collections… It must be said that this international influencer was not entirely chosen by chance since in addition to other common values, Kylie Jenner's sister and the brand also share... the same year of birth!
