Identifying shared genetics between heritage motifs and those of sportswear, Kris Van Assche elevates the sporty chevron in voluminous intarsia shearling coats executed by furriers as a natural take on faux fur. Suspended between formal and sportswear, they emerge in shocking pink and blue, or white and orange.

The sporty continues to integrate with the artisanal: a coat and a caban in fluo multi-colours are constructed entirely from thin leather strips. Pony skin outerwear is lined in down, while patina leather jackets undergo quilting, and super refined leather used in joggers and shirting resembles nylon.

A green patina blouson nods at the furniture collaboration between Pierre Jeanneret and Berluti. Kris Van Assche examines the Maison’s classic Scritto motif and imagines within it a new canvas named SIGNATURE – used on a weekend bag, a backpack, a tote, as well as small leather goods and also on trunks, a watch case and a shoe care kit from the new collaboration with Globe-Trotter – evoking the idea of a heritage logo that never existed.

The Gravity sneaker is given new life in colour blocking informed by the eccentric hues of the collection. A new homage to the Alessandro shoe extends its toe into a pointed diamond shape, skewed and abstracted for exaggeration.
