Jan-Jan van Essche FW21 - Project #9 'SUNU'
Jan-Jan van Essche presented his FW21 collection with an interactive film, where at certain moments during the film you could click on the models to view their outfit up-close. A marvelous way of presenting a collection, and we are blown away by the collection.
The collective idea SUNU, meaning ‘our’ in the Wolof language, summarises the sentiment of unity, fragility and inclusive interconnectivity. A sense of responsibility towards each other and what surrounds us. A solid bond, a strong connection, which needs to be cherished and praised but simultaneously guarded.
⠀⠀With the SUNU collection, the designer reaches out seeking resonance and forging alliances, longing for universal understanding. The fabrics are ranging from in-house handwoven cloths to well insulating yak wool blends, from traditional Chinese mud-dyed silks to prime Italian vintage-like weaves.
