Jan-Jan van Essche himself was present, showcasing his artistic talent by creating live drawings of his customers. In a generous gesture, he gifted each customer their unique portrait as a memento of the occasion. Adding to the festive atmosphere, each customer was styled in Jan-Jan's garments, creating a distinguishing collective from the outside.
Carina quoted: ''We wanted to share with all of you the experience of being able to closely connect the creator and the customer, so that the garments are not just a tool, but become your own special pieces of clothing.
In this way, garments and people can become long-term partners, and we believe that we could come to love clothes even more.''
Overall, the event demonstrated Jan-Jan van Essche's commitment to excellence, showcasing his artistic talent & innovative designs, captured in all its glory by the talented Teo Josserand.
