Danish brand Samsøe Samsøe unveiled a collaboration with French artist, architect and designer Garance Vallée and multidisciplinary artist Franck Pellegrino. The project combines fashion, art and spatial design, with denim as its central element.

The collection reinterprets the brand’s denim through a series of unique, handmade pieces, alongside two limited-edition designs: a leather jacket and a long-sleeved T-shirt. According to the brand, each garment has been reconstructed by hand.

As part of the project, Vallée has designed an immersive space in Paris, conceived to house the textile work of Pellegrino. Inspired by the visual codes of denim from the ’90s and early 2000s, the space combines industrial materials, brushed metal and glossy vinyls with techniques such as patchwork, stenciling and spray painting.
