Stéphane Ashpool x Corona's Jazz Pool Series Pops Off
This summer, our latest Frontpage star, Stéphane Ashpool, is partnering with Corona for a unique series of events. The renowned Jazz Pool parties, known as the coolest events during Paris Fashion Week, return with a special edition titled "Sunset Edition." Aptly titled by Corona to further define the partnership, the series of live music events will take place on August 2 and August 11, 2024, on a private rooftop on the Champs-Élysées, completely transformed by Ashpool's creative vision. In this exceptional setting, he'll blend design, style, live music, and a chill atmosphere. And, in the spirit of throwing the perfect pool party, each guest will receive a pair of exclusive sandals, specially designed for Corona by Ashpool only for the event.
Partnering with the official brand of sunsets and relaxation, Corona brings new ingredients to this edition of Jazz Pool. With its refreshing taste and laid-back lifestyle, Corona adds an extra layer of chill to the partnership. Known for celebrating summer and community spirit, Corona’s involvement aligns seamlessly with the vibrant and relaxed vibe of Ashpool’s Jazz Pool parties.
For those who can secure a coveted guest list spot, they'll have the chance to kick off their shoes off and connect with nature through music during sunset celebration moments, creating a more relaxed atmosphere. This inspired Ashpool to design super comfortable beachy sandals, reflecting his unique vision and style.
Ashpool is deeply embedded in the culture and community of Paris, particularly in the Pigalle neighborhood where he was born, raised, and still resides today. He is the founder of the streetwear brand Pigalle, established in 2008, a brand that reflects his unique blend of community involvement, national pride, and passion for basketball. It's hardly surprising, then, that the patriotic Frenchman was approached by Le Coq Sportif and the Paris 2024 Olympics team to design the official uniforms for the French Olympic and Paralympic teams. This project emphasized local production and collaboration with athletes, ensuring the garments met practical and symbolic needs. Ashpool's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to local craftsmanship were crucial in realizing his vision.
As if that wasn't enough, Ashpool, who is also an avid music fan, ventured into nightlife when he launched his Jazz Pool parties. These now highly anticipated events blend the essence of the golden age of jazz speakeasies with modern elements, featuring jam sessions and DJ sets to create a unique and immersive musical experience. Offering an added experiential layer, the event harnesses the uniting power of the Sunset Edition soirée, connecting the outdoors with one-of-a-kind performances. Held at Silencio des Prés in Saint-Germain, the parties are part of Ashpool's new venture, Jazz Plus Paris, and are set to relocate to Ibiza in the near future. For now, though, they'll take over the French capital in a true celebration of sound, sports, and style.
