Dear Shaded Viewers,
Designed in partnership with Greg Van Rijck, Jean-Paul Knott's menswear is about transformable clothes with a minimal, pared-down aesthetic. Focusing on natural fibres, subdued colours and refined shapes, the line could easily be interpreted and worn by different types of men. Greg really took the time to explain his approach and walk me through the collection, which is now in its second season.
I loved the multicoloured trainers, which were combined with every look. They added a playful touch to the silhouette.
You can view the entire collection at Petit Endroit, 14 rue Portefoin, 75003 Paris.
Best,
Philippe
