A statement gilet from Jan-Jan Van Essche's Collection #16 Nashat (SS26). Elements from traditional Japanese kimono and western sartorial clothing are expertly combined here with JJVE's 'open' approach to pattern making that prioritises freedom of movement and a sense of understated elegance. Finished in a wonderfully lightweight yet study Cotton/Washi twill, this piece could be a great statement piece if worn solo in summer, but would also work as a great layering piece throughout the seasons.
