LaQuan Smith and Louis XIII Cognac Join Forces in Collaborative Venture
In a groundbreaking fusion of fashion and fine spirits, American designer LaQuan Smith has teamed up with the storied Louis XIII Cognac to introduce a limited-edition accessory line, crafted to blend the opulence of high fashion with the storied tradition of cognac enjoyment.
This avant-garde collaboration presents two tailor-made accessories: The Drop Chain Pouch and The Boudoir Gloves. The Drop Chain Pouch, a pure silver piece inspired by the classic elegance of vintage flasks and bottles, is specifically designed to cradle a bottle of Louis XIII The Drop, adding a touch of glamour to the cognac-tasting experience. The Boudoir Gloves, extending to opera length and made from delicate mesh with velvet accents, nod to both Louis XIII’s iconic white glove service and Smith’s renowned mesh catsuit design, offering a sophisticated tribute to the legacy of both brands.
LaQuan Smith, reflecting on the collection, stated, “This collaboration is a testament to innovation, transforming the traditional Louis XIII tasting ritual into a fashionable dialogue. This collection is not just an amalgamation of styles; it’s a revolutionary movement set to redefine luxury experiences.”
Priced at $2,300 for the set, the Louis XIII x LaQuan Smith collection is available in highly exclusive quantities, underscoring the uniqueness of this collaboration.
The collection’s launch is accompanied by the ‘A Drop in Time by Louis XIII x LaQuan Smith’ campaign, brought to life by director Greg Swales, fashion icon Carine Roitfeld, and supermodel Jasmine Tookes, encapsulating the essence of this historic partnership.
Tina Reejsinghani, Vice President of Luxury Brands at Remy Cointreau USA, commented on the collaboration, “This partnership between Louis XIII Cognac and LaQuan Smith celebrates our mutual dedication to blending contemporary innovation with timeless elegance. This collection, along with its captivating campaign, stands as a tribute to Louis XIII’s heritage of master craftsmanship reimagined through LaQuan’s visionary design ethos.”
