DELIKATESSEN

E-mail Designer
With the AW13/14 collection, Delikatessen designer - Andrzej Lisowski and his partner Stephen Hartog took a lot of time to look deep into what they believe is a true value for men: exquisite fabrics, perfectly cut garments and precious buttons. They have done profound research to collect those treasures from around the world. From Italy, they have brought silky cottons (Giza,Mako), brushed oxfords, and precious boiled wools. They are introducing the softest known Indian Suvim Cotton quality in a new line of t-shirts. Their bomber jackets are lined with Japanese chambres. They use the most precious mother of pearl buttons, Trocas, known for its unique shine and shade of whiteness. While designing AW13/14, they thought a lot about the great Sicilian meal Caponata, which combines sweet and sour tastes and the result is stunning and unexpected. Andrzej Lisowski - a passionate cook, believes that clothing is similar to good food, it is all about good ingredients and how creative you can be putting them together. Caponata was a great paralel to describe the idea behind the collection. The recipe how to make Caponta comes with the collection. Bon Appetit.

About the Designer

DELIKATESSEN's picture

Andrzej is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He studied at Does not refer. His collections are produced in Poland.

Andre Lisowski - bases the label Delikatessen on his sharp eye for advanced sartorial details and personal reinterpretation of traditional garments. The brand's forte are shirts. Each season the brand comes up with a vast collection of redefined shirts, made from impeccable and refined cottons and linens. Andre Lisowski says: Delikatessen concept is to start with a product of purity: something that achieves balance between old craft and a modern aprroach to design. Researching and mixing different fabrics is a reoccurring theme in Lisowski's design. He is inspired by rich textures and color blocking. His use of prints, colors is distinctive for the brand. For SS12 he comes up with some super heavy linen jackets inspired by upholstery fabrics. The jackets are paired down with shirts made from soft and light semi transparent egiption cotton mouslins. Garments are heavely enzyme washed and softened in order to give them fluidity and contemporary relaxed look. The collection SS12 is about a research of minimal forms. Many designs employ just a few seams. They seem to be simple at first look, however it is a complexity of construction that compels. Garments are constructed from very few pieces of material which results in innovative forms. Jackets have no side seams and back of pants is cut from one pieces of fabric. Using well selected checks, intense tones, layering different garments and colors Delikatessen collection revives a menswear garderobe giving it a fresh and body-conscious edge.
