JOHN ELLIOTT
JOHN ELLIOTT
John Elliott founded his namesake label in 2012. A California native hailing from San Francisco, the Los Angeles based designer had always planned to start his own line.
From an early age, John was three parts obsessed with skate culture, basketball, and clothing. The latter came from his Italian immigrant grandmother, a seamstress that taught her three daughters to sew. Combining personal inspiration with the rise of skate culture’s independent labels in his hometown, John was inspired at a young age to create designs that can resonate on a global scale.
With an impressive background in the industry, and having a love of all things design, his garments feature tailored fits, an exceptional attention to detail, and quality in construction. Elliott puts himself on the ground floor of production daily, completely immersed in the design process from start to finish, including traveling the world to source and develop fabrics. The goal is to produce the highest quality clothing, with materials that are engineered to stand the test of time.
John is the winner of GQ’s Best New Designer of the Year award and premiered his debut runway collection for the Fall/ Winter 2015 season in New York. Since then, he has shown eight times at NYFW. Elliott has been named one of WWD’s Ten of Tomorrow and has also been nominated for Menswear Designer of the Year at the CFDA Fashion Awards. He has collaborated with the likes of Nike, the Gap, and the City of Los Angeles.
John describes himself as taking a non-traditional approach to design. That creative freedom has served him, and as a result the business has scaled over the course of ten years, becoming a meaningful presence in the luxury fashion space while keeping his eyes set on a global platform.

Jo Riis-Hansen
Jo Riis-Hansen
Jo Riis-Hansen works in a place of unrestrained expression. Her jewellery is the embodiment of her pursuit of artistic freedom, representing a personal journey of renouncing norms and typical genre confines.
Signalling a departure from her background in commercial jewellery, Jo’s next chapter is dedicated to the ‘making of’: unhurried, quiet contemplation and near- infinite experiments with form. Kinetic and often talisman-like, her pieces play with our perceptions of conventional shapes.
Each piece is crafted by Jo’s hands in her studio in Copenhagen, imbuing her jewellery with a sense of spirit often lacking in the mass-produced. As a classically trained goldsmith taught by the old guard in traditional techniques that go back centuries, Jo is a master of her craft, translating it into something without constraints.
Ceramics have become a central part of Jo’s new method. Moulding clay and shaping playful stoneware vessels with the enthusiasm of a novice has become a way for her to access another way of thinking and creating – a space she retreats to in order to find the untethered energy she seeks to bring to her artisanal jewellery.
In her work process Jo has found her sanctuary, but she also welcomes feelings of discomfort. By working with dogmas that challenge her beliefs and aesthetics she deliberately trips herself up, seeking to examine her visual language and personal daring to ultimately let go of creative inhibitions. Her projects are a journey in creative enlightenment, but also about beauty as a much-overlooked source of energy, and always carrying with her the classic meaningfulness so deeply embedded in jewellery.

Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo is a leading global luxury brand with an empowered sense of glamour and a playfully daring spirit.
The brand traces its roots to a bespoke shoemaker named Jimmy Choo, based in the East End of London in the early 1990s, who catered to the global jet set, including Princess Diana. The Jimmy Choo company was founded in 1996, with Mr Choo’s niece, Sandra Choi, who had been heading up design in the East End atelier, coming on board as Creative Director, a position she holds to this day. Mr Choo departed the company in 2001.
The sexy cut, fashionable design, and exceptional Italian craftsmanship struck a chord with a sophisticated clientele, and the first collection enjoyed immediate success. With a goal of creating a global luxury business, Jimmy Choo attracted outside investment and the company embarked on a significant expansion across product categories, channels and geographies.
A pioneer in the art of celebrity dressing, Jimmy Choo was among the first to bring shoes and handbags to Hollywood where the red carpet proved to be the ideal runway for the brand. Today, Jimmy Choo can be seen on style icons from celebrities to royalty, musicians to heads of state.
The brand’s reputation as a celebrity favourite helped to fuel its rapid expansion. Its iconography was further defined by the bold and dramatic advertising portraying glamorous but strong women in towering heels and luxurious handbags, captured by some of the most acclaimed fashion photographers in the world.
Retail development has been integral to the company’s strategy. The first Jimmy Choo store was opened in 1996 on Motcomb Street in London, complementing a distribution in some of the most prestigious multi-brand stores in the world. Two years later, the company expanded to the US, opening two stores in New York City and Beverly Hills. International expansion continued with Jimmy Choo securing locations in the premiere luxury shopping destinations of the world’s most prestigious cities including Sloane Street and Bond Street in London, Avenue Montaigne in Paris, Via Condotti in Rome, Madison Avenue in New York, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, and Ginza in Tokyo.
Jimmy Choo encompasses a complete luxury accessories brand. Women’s shoes remain the core of the product offer, alongside handbags, small leather goods, scarves, sunglasses, eyewear, belts, fragrance and men’s shoes. Creative Director Sandra Choi has been with the brand since its inception in 1996 with a vision to create one of the world’s most treasured luxury brands. Jimmy Choo has a global store network encompassing more than 200 stores and is present in the most prestigious department and specialty stores worldwide. Jimmy Choo is part of the Capri Holdings Limited global fashion luxury group publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CPRI.

Jan Jan van Essche
Jan Jan van Essche
As for many others, the human collective culture remains an endless inspiration for Jan-Jan Van Essche to create new garments, each new design a genuine attempt to open up new perspectives and to push conflicting dialogues forward.
With every series of garments, traditional patterns from different ethno-cultural origins are cautiously studied and subsequently interpreted in the designer’s individual pattern language; one speaking the poetry of simplicity.
Jan-Jan Van Essche mostly opts to remove all possible seams and minimalizing details and cultural connotation, while maximizing comfort for the wearer and therefore proposing an experience that works from the within.
Unlike classic Western approach to confine and shape the body, Jan-Jan provides the body the luxury and freedom to shape the garment.
His sincere and discrete designs are executed in carefully sourced, refined quality fabrics of natural fibers, all contributing elements inducing ones awareness and state of mind.
Contributing to this story of minimizing anecdotic connotations some fabrics remain un-dyed or even loom state, the colours are rather to the muted palette and the black colour with its endless shades is always present to rigorously accentuate the silhouettes.
Jan-Jan Van Essche continuously aims to develop new insights on contemporary yet effortless and genderless elegance.
His pieces are layered with subtlety, integrated into modern-day city life and into personal wardrobes, slowly and carefully playing their humble role in finding connection and acceptance.
They see no boundaries, no limitations, no restrictions no exclusions.
The conventional silhouette is amplified and each individual garment literally leaves room for interpretation, engendering openness.
The wearer of Jan-Jan Van Essche is a gentle soul in constant dialogue with one’s personal context as well as with the world as a whole.
Like the garments the wearer is humble and is unrestrained.
Jan-Jan Van Essche is born in Antwerp, Belgium, where he has his design studio. He’s a 2003 graduate of the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
In June 2010 Jan-Jan Van Essche launched his first eponymous label as an annual wardrobe. COLLECTION#1 – ‘YUKKURI’, Japanese for ‘take it easy’ or ‘slowly’.
This title also became his intrinsic and conceptual approach to contemporary wardrobes as a designer.
