CINABRE ROLLS UP ITS SLEEVES... ... AND LAUNCHES ITS SHIRTS
CINABRE ROLLS UP ITS SLEEVES... ... AND LAUNCHES ITS SHIRTS
Since 2011, I have envisioned and shaped Cinabre as a world of elegance and black-tie sophistication, reflected both in our French-crafted accessories and our luxury hotel Suites. I am introducing today our first ready-to-wear collection, centered around an iconic piece: the contrast-collar shirt, expertly tailored with the utmost attention to details.
WHAT MAKES A CINABRE SHIRT UNIQUE ?
Cinabre offers a wide selection of contrast-collar shirts, inspired by the 80’s and reimagined for today. The collection also includes a selection of timeless solid-color designs. Today 6 designs are available and more drops will follow in the coming weeks.
We created our own signature cut, drawing inspiration from John John Kennedy’s oversized wardrobe and the vintage tailor-made shirts worn by my French great-grandfather. The sleeves are designed to add character to the silhouette: slightly longer, they ensure a perfect drape under a blazer or jacket. Each piece is crafted from premium double-twisted cotton poplin.
THE DELIGHT IS IN THE DETAILS
Each piece is crafted with the utmost respect for traditional shirtmaking. We dedicated nearly a year to perfecting every detail: a unique Point collar, mother-of-pearl buttons, offset underarm seam, a split back yoke, French seams, hem gusset, and a horizontally stitched last buttonhole.
The Cinabre shirts are crafted in Spain by a small and traditional workshop renowned for its bespoke shirts. The atelier supplies the most prestigious tailors in Madrid. To ensure quality and sustainability, every design is produced in a limited edition, reducing waste and embracing responsible production.
THE FIRST 6 SHIRTS
We launch our first collection of six shirts: two timeless solid-color essentials (white and blue) and four distinctive striped styles. Many more designs are already in the works and coming very soon...
A TRIBUTE TO JEAN COCTEAU/span>
We designed our own distinctive Point collar — the "Cocteau" collar— as a tribute to the refined elegance of French artist Jean Cocteau. This high yet understated collar strikes the perfect balance between presence and subtlety. Its narrow shape and carefully measured spread allow a tie or bow tie to sit effortlessly.
Cocteau believed fashion should be a game, a daily act of self-expression. During a runway show, upon seeing an outfit that felt too rigid and conventional, he is said to have whispered to a friend: "It is not fashion that should wear the man, but the man who should wear fashion." Food for thought!
