Jan-Jan Van Essche is a reserved yet emblematic figure in contemporary men’s fashion” says to an extent that he would probably be the first to consider superfluous any claims of gender distinction, either to confirm it or decree it has been surpassed. Instead, he is interested in generating, each time, a different version of the same model of elegance and naturalness and transmitting an idea of freedom. Being aware of the privateness of his character and the attention he pays to maintaining the right balance between the content and exhibition of his collections, I was not sure that he would accept our invitation. But he did, something we are very pleased about and which, we hope, will increase interest in his work.

I’m really happy, honored and grateful to be invited by Pitti Uomo to present our work.
This will be our first show ever, so it’s going to be a special event for us in any case. 
To be able to hold this first show in the unique atmosphere of the city of Firenze makes it extra special, something I could have only dreamed of.
We feel very much supported in creating the presentation and are very motivated to make it an unforgettable moment.
