jacaranda 2023 chapter 1
Jacaranda: an extension
A small capsule collaborative collection with Lioness ,telling the first part of the story , the tale of the bark, the roots and the leaves.
The root grows into the trunk and into the branches
A sequence of events that demands to be observed
A base so strong and a roof so high
A foundation
From the group up
The natural order of life
In each season
Time reminds us when bare
That we have structure
And on this structure
We should rely
Let the fabrics intertwine let the browns, the blacks, the Grey's and greens flow together , let the patched fabric create the bark of the tree. Let the beauty of the roots and branches be seen.
Jan Joosten Winter 2019
A sports lux collection
A collection in collaboration with Leah Misika and Jagermeister
This collection was inspired by a Southern story, a man from the south of Namibia that was known for his style class, the towns people knew him to be a holy man and a stylish man too. There is a special phrase used by many people from the south called "Heilige Jan Jooster." The entire collection is inspired by this catch phrase and class of this man.
