Like guests in a luxury hotel, created in denim thanks to the art of set designer Fabio Chrestich, the model move through the lobby, showing the daily flow of discreet and precious hospitality. Constructions enriched by leather inserts, by stitching that outlines the brand’s trapezoid logo or by rivets that, applied to the garments, recall the diaeresis on the letter. Everything comes back to the brand, with great care. And with extreme consistency. The materials fully express the preciousness and refinement of a collection that, increasingly, outlines the maturity of the aesthetic taste of a man who knows how to define himself also through clothing, in a message of universal and timeless elegance. Very soft napa leather, but also suede, deerskin and sheepskin for jackets, bomber jackets and waistcoats. Double model in cashmere, plain, contrasting or Prince of Wales versions, for coats with a rigorous cut and a decidedly tailored soul. Touching a jacket in down or made of Loro Piana fabric has the feel of a sensory experience, where the Storm System treatment reconciles softness to the touch with practicality. Strong and emblematic of the brand, denim – here a noble and precious fabric – runs through the Jacob Cohën A/W 26–27 collection thanks to shirts and five-pockets with relaxed forms. Yet, that is not all. Blue Silk Cloud, a new and exclusive project, sees the inner padding of the garments made from recycled denim mixed with silk and polyester. The sweaters, in precious cashmere and cashmere-silk yarns, are polo, high-neck or turtleneck, in block colours or geometric patterns. The hues paint a portrait of a late autumnal heath, traversed by a gaze that captures the nuances of browns, burnt, taupe, greys, moss green, passing through ochres and ice tones. “Season after season,” says Jennifer Tommasi Bardelle, the brand’s Artistic Director, “working with precious and exclusive materials is increasingly the stylistic hallmark of Jacob Cohën which, in its natural creative evolution fully preserves a respect for its roots.” She walks with a confident step, the Jacob Cohën woman. She wins people over with her impeccable style. Sophisticated. Whispered sensuality. No excess. Flawless. Precious garments with extremely detailed workmanship. Skilful cuts that reveal the body with great savoir-faire. In the slits of skirts. In the openings, on the back, of silk shirts. In the necklines of cross-over tops. Soft lines versus solid constructions. Jackets with structured shoulders. And the necks are high. There is pride in the gait. Almost an ostentation of confident femininity. Trenches/coats in suede or pony skin, also proposed in the waistcoats or super-cropped jackets. The denim has contrasting leather edging and details. And Jacob Cohën’s cult classic denim models are designed in different fabrics. Also in leather. Evolution and change, without m betraying the DNA. Brown, dove grey, ivory. Brushstrokes of green fading from forest to sage. “Electric” incursions in violet. Greyand indigo blue. The palette.
