The category of menswear continues to find ways to connect fashion to the omnipresent cocktail or wines and spirits in general. Fashion icons like Tom Ford, who once concluded his GUCCI Menswear Fall 2004 2005 runway show in Milan with a cocktail in hand, have subtly expressed this sentiment.

High fashion and Irish cream liquor come together to create the Baileys Marshmallow Puffer Jacket, designed by Rembert's love for hot cocoa, mixed with the Baileys, and topped with a marshmallow. The marshmallow has actualized into a puffer, another favorite for Rembert during the winter.
“The puffer is like a glove. That's what I love about puffers,” Rembert admits. “It just makes you [feel] that hug when you put it on. It feels warm like, you know, Baileys during the wintertime in my hot cocoa or in my coffee. It feels like love.” The signature shape, texture, and color of the Baileys Marshmallow Puffer Jacket is what stands out with this collaborative piece.
“It felt young - it felt modern, it felt cool. And I wanted to approach this design with that. To not feel overdone but relatable - yet aspirational.
