Collection Overview
This season features a total of 8 styles, led by tops perfect for the spring and summer months alongside pants that showcase the brand's signature craftsmanship. The lineup allows you to feel the serene and unique philosophy of JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE, which stands in resistance to the rapid consumption of modern trends.
The collection title "NASHAT" is a word that means "happiness" or "energetic vitality" in Arabic. Following the introspective exploration of the soul over the past few seasons, this season moves toward an expression of "joy" that is more extroverted and full of life. This is not a superficial joy created by modern excessive ornamentation, but rather a deeply rooted joy that quietly arises from primal and physical experiences—touching natural materials and feeling the sensation of fabric catching the wind as it moves.
In terms of material selection and color, this season's unique textiles, filled with tactile pleasure, are particularly eye-catching. The "Kasuri Cotton Silk" creates a rhythm like streaks of broken light by crossing silk threads of "Old Lavender" with a precise gradation of black, orange, and purple. Then there is the "Urushi Hemp Canvas," which applies Urushi—a traditional Japanese natural resin—to sturdy hemp canvas, giving it a deep, wet-looking jet-black luster. For the workwear trousers, materials offering completely different sensory experiences are used: a coated cloth that assimilates with the body and develops a vintage-like character with repeated wear, and a cavalry twill that provides surprising lightness and mobility.
Regarding the silhouette, rather than mindlessly creating new shapes every season, the brand continues to refine its core "mother patterns." By eliminating as many seams as possible and draping the body in a single piece of linearly cut cloth, a rich space equivalent to the Japanese aesthetic of "Ma" is created between the body and the fabric. By designing garments not as static sculptures but as pieces intended for a body in motion, this space allows air to circulate within the clothing and creates a visual dynamism where the fabric beautifully ripples with every movement.
The 8 styles arriving this season constitute a lineup that allows you to truly experience the philosophy and atmosphere of JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE 26SS. We invite you to discover the unique atmosphere of JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE this season, both in-store and online.
