BLACK COFFEE

ABOUT

Jacques van der Watt finds delight in the singularity of specific construction methods. For Black Coffee’s SS’24, he explores pleating in all its forms, creating intricate pieces with a commanding presence.

Despite the intricate construction, each look is stripped of superfluous elements, returning to a state of clarity by removing all excess.

Expect van der Watt's signature avant-garde, sculpture-like designs that have defined his work over the past two decades. Pleats are artfully fused to achieve volume, pushing silhouettes to new extremes for the brand.

This collection is an emotional offering; van der Watt imagines different characters for each look to achieve a varied offering while maintaining a strongly defined signature for the season."
