Products and positioning
LGN blends classic tailoring with sportswear, pairing materials such as silk with denim and jersey. Each collection takes its starting point from a work of literature; the debut collection was inspired by Yukio Mishima's The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. The designer has described using destruction as a form of embellishment on beautiful fabrics, while keeping pieces easy to wear.
- Conceptual references to literature, subcultures and Japanese art
- Embroidery and treated fabrics
- Wearable tailoring alongside casual pieces
Why it matters
LGN is one of the younger independent labels to establish a regular place on the Paris menswear calendar, and its literature-led concept gives each collection a clear narrative that sets it apart.
