Jenny Schwarz Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook
by Luca Imbimbo
Jenny Schwarz takes influences from Johann Schneider, her great grandfather. By trade he was a bespoke menswear tailor in Bavaria during the 1930s but for pleasure, he was an adventurer. The dichotomy between the two facets of her great grandfather’s personality is what drives the creative spirit behind the menswear line. She chooses fabrics that illustrate natural performance qualities and bridge the gap between the function and form, balancing the two within each garment.
Just as Johann was equally comfortable in his bespoke atelier as half way up a mountain, the clothes at Jenny Schwarz have dual purpose and cross the boundaries of usage. Their long-standing collaboration with Hainsworth cloth highlights a point of connection between the brands for garments used in both extreme conditions and on ceremonial occasions.
The qualities of the New Zealand merino jersey they use read like something you might find at the frontiers of fabric technology with its ability to keep the wearer both warm and cool, wick away moisture and remain lightweight. Long have merino and cashmere been used as base layering that nature perfected first.
Jenny Schwarz use these fabrics to create menswear with modern cuts often manipulating the fabric beforehand resulting in unique textures. Alongside this, she makes simple clothes intriguing again with clever pattern cutting techniques and intricate panelling.
Echoing the early days of her family’s attention towards garment construction, Jenny dedicates herself to the perfection of each piece lending more weight to the quality of a garment ensuring its quality and design stand the test of time. She designs for men whose clothes reveal a quality and thought that the observer admires.
Whereas you could always order pieces from Jenny Schwarz, this winter sees the shop at www.jennyschwarz.com hold many of her newest pieces available to purchase immediately.
