LỰU ĐẠN, the designer menswear label, is excited to announce the release of its third collection, featuring 25 looks. The collection will be available for direct-to-consumer purchase as well as at select global retailers such as SSENSE, H. Lorenzo, Addition Adelaide, SND, and LMDS.
Inspired by the bōsōzoku gangs of Japan, the collection pays homage to the visual language of defiance and rebellion from the 1950s through the 1980s. The bōsōzoku, known for their custom bikes and tokkō-fuku uniforms, or "assault suits," saw themselves as contemporary samurai, fighting against conformity and monotony.
The collection draws from a variety of cultural references, including Korean camouflage, Chicano flannels, and zebra motifs, united under the LỰU ĐẠN flag. The silhouettes range from micro to macro proportions and are now available in genderless sizing options, reflecting the brand's evolution and understanding of its own multidimensionality.
