The designer and founder of the Parisian brand PIGALLE, Stéphane Ashpool, is also known for his eye-catching collabs. After teaming up with iconic labels such as Jordan Brand or G-Shock in the past few years, he’s expanding his scope by teaming up with HENNESSY, the famous French cognac company.
Stéphane Ashpool brought his touch to the Hennessy Very Special Cognac, one of the best-selling cognacs in the world. Each year, this liqueur with its fresh scent of toasted almonds, brown sugar and the aroma of the fruit of the vine is reinterpreted by artists and made into limited editions.
The designer from the Pigalle district and the undisputed leader of the cognac market have come together on the basis of common values, such as the ability to live with the times, high standards and inspirations based on the world around them.
Stéphane Ashpool found inspiration in the land of Cognac. He’s the first collaborator to rework the entire bottle, not just the label.
The multi-faceted artist with a colorful and urban artistic universe chose to tint the Hennessy Very Special bottle with new colors paying tribute to the versatility and character of this spirit. The container is covered with a “Caméléon” (chameleon in french) paint in shades of iridescent blue, yellow and green, which give the impression of luminous colors in motion and matches any decor. This bold yet chic look is assured by elegant white brand markings : “Hennessy VERY SPECIAL Stéphane Ashpool Cognac”, surrounded by the leaf motifs.
Stéphane Ashpool and Hennessy have taken the collaboration to the next level by reinterpreting one of the world’s most famous and consumed cocktails : the Mojito. Renamed “Caméléon”, this aromatic and floral drink has the same colors as the Hennessy bottle reinvented by the Parisian designer.
The limited edition Hennessy Very Special by Stéphane Ashpool will be distributed only in France from June 15, 2023 at a price of 52€ (70cl bottle). It will be available in selected wine shops, at the Hennessy boutique in Cognac, on Clos 19, at the STR.EAT pop-up shop and on the 3rd floor of the Samaritaine in Paris. Be ready !
