Our Ginza store recently hosted an intimate gathering where Berluti, in collaboration with Esquire Japan, paid homage to its iconic Forestière jacket. The event was a vibrant dialogue on sartorial versatility, blending the Maison's heritage with contemporary style, and allowing guests to learn more about this masterpiece of the refined Men’s wardrobe.
The Forestière, originally conceived by Parisian tailor Arnys over half a century ago, embodies the quintessential Parisian Left Bank elegance. Characterized by its generous cut, comfort, and undeniable chic, the Forestière strikes a perfect balance between formal and relaxed attire—a tangible expression of Berluti's "Remarkable Allure." With the integration of Arnys in 2011 and the reinterpretation of this classic style by Berluti’s studio over the years, this jacket has become a cornerstone of Berluti's identity, cherished by connoisseurs of culture and style.
The highlight of the evening was a compelling panel discussion, gathering Japanese football legend and fan of the Forestière Hidetoshi Nakata and Tomoki Sukezane, one of Japan's most influential stylists and Masahiro Nishikawa, the Fashion Director for Esquire Japan. Guests witnessed the dialogue between these style icons, interpreting the jacket in their own ways.
This celebration in Japan was even more special, since the country counts many aficionados of the historic tailor. More than a mere presentation; the event offered a profound conversation on the Forestière’s elegance of versatility, a testament to Maison’s tailoring expertise, and a reflection of Berluti’s commitment to a Remarkable Allure.
