With Aman Essentials, Kim Jones makes his first designer collaboration with the brand, creating a wardrobe inspired by the art of travel, the beauty of landscapes, and a concept of luxury rooted in discretion.&nbsp;

With Aman x Kim Jones, Aman Essentials launches its first designer collaboration, bringing together two worlds united by a shared vision of luxury: discretion, craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Entitled Lines of Passage, the collection draws inspiration from journeys, landscapes traversed, and those suspended moments that give travel its depth. More than a fashion collaboration, it embodies a particular idea of movement, in which clothing accompanies the experience rather than defining it.
After making his mark on the menswear collections of Louis Vuitton and Dior, and subsequently overseeing the womenswear and haute couture collections at Fendi, Kim Jones is entering a new chapter in his career. The British designer is also preparing the return of his eponymous brand, whose first collection is expected in 2027. In the meantime, his collaboration with Aman Essentials offers another avenue for creative expression, at the intersection of fashion, architecture, and lifestyle. It allows him to extend his creative language beyond the catwalk, placing it within a world where every detail contributes to a holistic experience.&nbsp;

This collaboration draws its distinctiveness from a genuine familiarity with the Aman universe. Kim Jones has stayed at more than thirty of the group's properties, developing an intimate knowledge of its destinations, their atmospheres, and their distinctive relationship with nature. From secluded retreats to stark landscapes, from verdant hues to sun-drenched horizons, these experiences provide a wealth of sensory references for the collection. The inspiration lies not only in the imagery of travel itself, but also in what remains in the memory: a color, a texture, a sensation, a different way of inhabiting the world.
The resulting wardrobe prioritizes fluidity, functionality, and versatility. Relaxed silhouettes are paired with lightweight layers and pieces designed to move with the body without restricting it. Fabrics, volumes, and shades come together to create a wardrobe in which comfort never comes at the expense of sophistication. Each item seems designed to adapt to a variety of contexts, from contemplative retreats to urban life. The ambition is not to create a vacation uniform, but rather garments capable of transcending the boundaries between places, rhythms, and times of day while maintaining a delicate balance.

This approach reflects a broader evolution in the concept of luxury, now inseparable from the experiences and emotions that accompany it. At Aman, hospitality is rooted in a careful appreciation of architecture, landscape, and the intimacy of each place. With Kim Jones, this philosophy extends to clothing, which becomes both a tangible reminder of a distant destination and an everyday companion. The concept of Lines of Passage thus takes on its full meaning: the lines are not only those of a silhouette, but also those of the paths taken, the cultures encountered, and the personal stories that unfold along the way. An elegance defined less by the destination than by the journey itself.

The official launch of the collaboration brought together several prominent figures to celebrate this encounter between fashion and hospitality, including Yoon Ahn, Clare Waight Keller, Verbal, and Kristina Romanova. Their presence underscores the project's resonance within an international creative scene attuned to interdisciplinary dialogue. For Kim Jones, Aman x Kim Jones marks a period of transition and exploration as his personal universe prepares to take on new forms of expression. For Aman Essentials, the collection opens up a new path: one in which luxury is worn, experienced, and extended far beyond the stay itself. A wardrobe designed for movement, but above all, for the rare freedom of feeling at home wherever you are.
