KENZO F/W '20

“Collaborating with Passalacqua is the realisation of a long-held dream. Ever since my first visit, I was captivated by the property’s quiet grandeur—it is a place unlike any other : intimate, exquisite, and brought to life by the visionary eye of Valentina De Santis. A dear friend for over two decades, and in my view the world’s most gifted hotelier, Valentina has an unmatched attention to detail and a rare ability to create moments and settings where time seems to pause. The collection was created as a companion to that sensibility and rhythm— a wardrobe for lingering mornings, unhurried afternoons, and the quiet pleasure of presence. No one embodies this spirit more fully than Robert Rabensteiner. His presence brings depth and soul to the campaign, capturing the essence of dolce far niente in its most refined form.” says Andreas Palm, co-founder and CEO at CDLP.

“Passalacqua is our little corner of paradise on Lake Como — a place filled with heart, soul, and marvel that make you fall in love over and over again. While we were envisioning this magical place, we never set out to meet expectations — we simply followed our instincts and created something special we wanted to share with others. That’s exactly why this collaboration with CDLP feels so right. CDLP, like us, leads with feeling. It’s about quality, craftsmanship, and a certain elegance that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Andreas and I have known each other for so many years — it was only a matter of time before our worlds collided. This collection is a piece of our friendship and of our shared sensibility — beautiful, comfortable, joyful. I hope our guests feel the love we poured into it, and that they take a little bit of Passalacqua with them when they leave. ” says Valentina De Santis, Owner of Passalacqua.
