Finery x Michael Voltaggio | Chef Workwear Collaboration

We’ve known Voltaggio for over 15 years. Back then, he was fresh off his Top Chef Season 6 win. Today, he’s cemented himself as one of the most creative chefs in the game. With our design-forward, Anti-Uniform ethos, we found a kindred spirit in his boundary-pushing culinary style. Give the guy any ingredient and 20 minutes, and he’ll serve the best meal you’ve ever had. 

But more importantly, he’s one of the warmest, most sincere people we know.

So when the opportunity came to collaborate, we didn’t take it lightly. We reimagined three of our core workwear staples (The Sack Coat, The Workwear Coat, & The Drawstring Chino) sourcing vintage textiles that we upcycled and patchworked into reconstructed silhouettes, blending history and craftsmanship into every stitch. The result is a boro-inspired textile collage, drawing from the Japanese art of visible mending to give old fabric new life.

Catch him September 2nd as he returns as a Titan on Season 4 of Bobby’s Triple Threat.
