Scotch & Soda unveils Fall-Winter'24 Campaign and Capsule Collection with first global ambassador Joe Jonas

Originally founded in 1985, the Scotch & Soda brand is now managed by Bluestar Alliance, a New York-based brand management company. Scotch & Soda was founded upon its dedication to the free spirit of Amsterdam, offering original designs rooted in endless optimism, individuality and the power of self-expression. After acquiring Scotch & Soda just last year, Bluestar Alliance set to reinvigorate the long-adored brand, famously lauded for its unconventional, artistic view on fashion. With its first global ambassador and Fall-Winter 2024 brand campaign, Scotch & Soda continues its sartorial journey of discovery through energetic collections that champion creative freedom and inclusivity.

NEW YORK, 10/09/2024 (informazione.it - comunicati stampa - moda)

For Scotch & Soda, the partnership with Joe Jonas offered an opportunity to collaborate with one of the most dynamic artists of his generation. Joe Jonas, an adored singer, songwriter, actor and photographer, has also become well-known for his original and expressive sense of style, creatively pairing rich colors, denim, knitwear, tailored, vintage pieces and bold accessories that inspire curiosity and conversation. With a strong point of view and global trend-setting influence, Jonas was the perfect choice to represent the optimism of the Scotch & Soda brand.

As a complement to the core Fall-Winter 2024 collection, inspired by the theme "Free Your Mind," and the journey of the free spirit through the world's greatest cities, the design team delved into artistic motifs, architecture, landmarks, and the Beat Generation Writers.

Joe Jonas has crafted a capsule collection that invites fans around the globe to embark on a reflective and forward thinking journey with him. The Scotch & Soda x Joe Jonas capsule collection includes a mix of men's and unisex clothing and accessories that capture Joe's confident approach to style and his unique vision for the brand within its primary categories. With total creative control, Jonas curated every detail, from the capsule collection's range of styles, silhouettes, fabrications, prints, trims, to the campaign imagery he is featured in. Jonas approached the process similarly to how he creates music. With a journey that included a deepdive into his wider creative process, Jonas thought about the story he wanted to tell and utilized 'Cup of Joe,' his personal diary of photography, as the foundation for his creative vision, drawing inspiration from his vintage-inspired aesthetic to customized artwork that reflects his creative style and distinct artistic expression.

"Our aim with this collaboration was to create a dynamic capsule that felt elevated and authentic while keeping the core spirit of the brand intact, and I believe we achieved just that," says Eran Kaim, Chief Product Officer. "Joe's unique creative eye and distinct sense of style, married with the expert design in the core categories that Scotch & Soda is known for, which includes denim, knitwear and tee's, which has proven to be just the perfect combination and we're very honored to bring his vision to life."

Inspired by the American West, vintage Americana, the seventies and Joe's personal photography and writings, the capsule offers a dynamic wardrobe that feels personal, lived-in and built to last. Key pieces include tailored utility and workwear jackets, ringer tees with custom graphics, two piece sets, sport-inspired polos and on-trend accessories including trucker hats and versatile printed scarves.

"As a longtime fan of Scotch & Soda I am excited to share the collaboration we have created with the world. The creative freedom that I was given made this such a fun and rewarding experience, so I'm really looking forward to launching the collection," says Joe Jonas.

Offering a refined color palette of muted pastel blues, ecrus, charcoal greys, and pinks, seamlessly integrating with Scotch & Soda core offerings, the capsule collection is composed of versatile and wearable pieces that embody Joe's vision of crafting contemporary designs with a sartorial point of view, that resonate with the brand's identity and perfectly compliment the broader fall collection.

Joey Gabbay, CEO of Bluestar Alliance, the parent company that acquired Scotch & Soda last year, shared " Joe Jonas is one of the most dynamic, creative voices of his generation. The launch of this partnership is a fundamental component of Scotch & Soda's growth; and allows us to celebrate incredible artistic talent, while exposing new consumers to the brand in the U.S. and around the globe. We're honored to be in partnership with such a creative and well-regarded artist such as Joe."
