Hennessy X.O x Kim Jones open pop-up store in London

The immersive pop-up store at Flannens flagship store on Oxford Street invites brand connoisseurs to peek into the futuristic world of Hennessy X.O.

Hennessy X.O. is opening a pop-up store in London’s Flannels, celebrating the company’s first-ever collaboration with British art fashion designer Kim Jones.

As part of the collaboration, Jones created a new, reimagined design for the Masterpiece decanter for Hennessy X.O. In addition, a limited edition HNY Low sneaker, inspired by the designer’s partnership with the cognac brand, was released. “I wanted it to feel like you’re almost looking into a bottle. It’s a cognac glass shaped like a sneaker,” Jones commented.
