A fragment of Johnny's jacket, the soul of this eternal rocker
The 2017 Hallyday collection features an authentic piece of the black leather jacket worn by Johnny Hallyday during the presentation of a gold record. This authentic jacket, provided by the Hallyday family, was cut into 3mm fragments in our approved laboratories, then encapsulated at 9 o'clock under a sapphire crystal. Crafted by his official designer, Gérard Sené, based in Los Angeles, this unique piece embodies the soul of rock. The collection is numbered, in homage to this timeless legend.
“What I am, I owe to the stage.”
— Johnny Hallyday
Official partnership with the Hallyday family
Col&MacArthur collaborates with the Hallyday family to celebrate Johnny Hallyday's legacy.
