Some encounters begin with mutual admiration and, over time, grow into something more. The collaboration with J Balvin stems from an authentic relationship built around values we deeply share: family, respect for craftsmanship, a passion for quality and the desire to create something made to endure. A Colombian artist with a global vision, J Balvin brings a distinctive and contemporary creative language to the project. We bring what has always defined us: Neapolitan tailoring culture, the expertise of our ateliers and a knowledge of clothing passed down through generations.
At first glance, he comes from a world that may seem very different from ours, but we soon discovered that we share so many of the same values. Family above all, but also respect for craftsmanship, a passion for quality - Antonio Paone, President of Kiton Corporation
From this dialogue comes a capsule collection entirely conceived and crafted in Italy, where tuxedos, double-breasted suits, full leather looks, refined outerwear and exclusive accessories bring together sartorial precision and freedom of expression.Superfine wools, silks, natural fibres and precious leathers are shaped through our artisanal expertise, creating a wardrobe in which the quality of materials and construction remains at the heart of every piece.
What I love most about Kiton is not just their attention to detail and craftsmanship, but the values of the people behind it. There’s a real sense of family in everything they do, which connects deeply with my own DNA and where I come from - J Balvin
Naples and New York provide the backdrop to the collaboration: the first represents our roots and our culture of making, while the second embodies energy, cultural exchange and creative freedom. With Kiton x J Balvin, we sought to bring heritage and contemporary expression, Italian identity and a global sensibility into dialogue, shaping an idea of elegance that is personal, effortless and never ostentatious. The Kiton x J Balvin Familia capsule will be presented through an exclusive travelling retail concept, bringing the collection to a curated selection of Kiton boutiques across the United States.
