JAN x WL x Michael Taylor

South Africa's first Michelin-starred chef, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, is expanding his creative vision by producing a lifestyle collection that celebrates the art of living well, expressive beauty, and collaboration with local creatives.

As part of this debut, JAN is partnering with acclaimed local artist Michael Taylor for a limited-edition drop of scarves. This customised, special-edition accessory captures the JAN spirit and love of storytelling, Michael's distinctive, colourful artistry, and the craftsmanship of Wanderland Collective.

More than just an accessory, this piece is a wearable reminder of inspiration and the pursuit of beauty in every moment.

Michael Taylor

Cape Town–based artist Michael Taylor is known for his contemporary figurative paintings that explore narrative, identity, and the beauty of human connection. His works pulse with colour, and abstraction merges with memory in moments that capture the feeling of intimacy, vulnerability, and humanity. Each work feels like a fragment of thought made visible, a story unfolding slowly in colour and form.
