The collection features a stylish pair of sneakers, a golden decanter, and a bottle holder––perfect for the fashionable drinker.

In an interview withat Aman New York, the Central Saint Martins grad shares how designed the decanter resembles creating couture. “Well, in the essence of the form, it’s quite similar, but actually in the process, it’s very different because it’s actually product design,” Jones says. Crafted from 3-D-printing and meticulous hand-finishing, the Hennessy X.

Mimicking this effect, the decanter’s special titanium casing twists around the bottle, similar to an elegant gown. The vessel was dipped in gradient colors that reflect shades of the different eaux-de-vie selected by the master blender to create Hennessy X.O. An oak plateau also accompanies the offering as a nod to the barrels used to age those spirits. To extract the Cognac from its golden metal covering, you’ll need to use the handy fusil designed by Jones.

on each wrist , Jones draws a connection between his undergrad experience and his intro to Hennessy. “I used to work at a bar when I was at college,” the award-winning designer says. “And Hennessy X.O was the thing that people used to ask for after the opera. I was at Saint Martins, but I would relate to the fact that the people that came to us would always wear the nicer suit, or the nicest dresses, or the nicest jewelry or the nicest watches. So, I assume I associated it with taste ever since then.

Although Hennessy asked Jones to design its inaugural step into the fashion world, the creative says he wasn’t sure about the move at first. “But then I thought about it more until I actually made one,” he explains. That creation turned out to be a pair of basketball-inspired kicks, dubbed HNY Low by Kim Jones. Produced at a-owned shoe factory in Italy, the sneaks are made from leather in a Cognac-brown hue that patinas over time.
