An avid ceramics collector, Berluti Creative Director Kris Van Assche decided to bring together his passion with Berluti’s famous bootmaking expertise. For the Spring-Summer 2021 menswear collection, he collaborated with ceramic artist Brian Rochefort to create pieces where the artist’s exuberant signature blends with the luxuriant textures favored by the Belgian designer.

Berluti previewed the collection in a video featuring a compelling look behind the scenes as the two creative talents discuss the way they work together in a digital world, with Kris Van Assche in Paris and Brian Rochefort in Los Angeles.

“Right now, collaboration feels like a meaningful way to create something new,” Van Assche said in a statement. “As something of a ceramics nerd, I have admired Brian Rochefort’s expression for a long time, and am fortunate enough to own one of his works. I couldn’t be more excited to interpret his vision through the lens of Berluti.”

This new collection whets the curiosity of Berluti aficionados as Kris Van Assche takes a familiar aesthetic and transports it with a new proposal, taking sartorial creations into unexplored territory.
