Designer Project of Pitti Uomo 103: Jan-Jan Van Essche

Jan-Jan Van Essche is the Designer Project of the next edition of Pitti Uomo (taking place in Florence from 10-13 January 2023). The Belgian designer will be bringing his fluid and essential concept of fashion to Florence at a one-of-a-kind unique event, scheduled on Wednesday, January 11th.

The human collective culture remains an endless inspiration for Jan-Jan Van Essche to create new garments with each new design a genuine attempt to open up new perspectives and to push conflicting dialogues forward into unification.
Jan-Jan Van Essche continuously aims to develop new insights on contemporary yet effortless male and genderless elegance. The conventional silhouette is amplified, so that each individual garment literally leaves room for interpretation, engendering openness. Unlike classic Western approach to confine and shape the body, Jan-Jan provides the body the luxury and freedom to shape the garment.
