Hennessy Cognac, the world-renowned cognac brand, and fashion designer Kim Jones have teamed up for an unprecedented collaboration, creating a limited-edition collection of an X.O. Masterpiece decanter, a limited-edition bottle of X.O., and a collectible sneaker. The partnership celebrates Hennessy X.O.'s rich heritage while acknowledging its influence on pop culture. This is the first time Maison Hennessy has worked with a fashion designer, and the first time Kim Jones has partnered with a spirits brand.
The Hennessy X.O. Limited Edition features an aluminum second skin that showcases the bottle's iconic shape and evokes a couture silhouette. The limited-edition bottle of X.O. will be available for purchase this summer at alcohol retailers across the country, while the sneakers will be sold through online partner Hypebeast. This collaboration is a true representation of the merger of fashion and culture with excellence and legacy.
