VOLVER — A Study in Desire

“Rather than introducing new garments, Volver returns to the LGN archive.

Pieces from previous collections are reassembled into new silhouettes inspired by Pedro Almodóvar’s cinematic language: bold colour, emotional intensity and deeply human characters. Through styling rather than production, the project explores how a wardrobe can evolve over time while remaining true to its identity.

The result is a dialogue between memory and reinvention, where existing garments acquire a new emotional life.”

Louis Gabriel Nouchi founded his eponymous label in Paris in 2018 after studying fashion at La Cambre in Brussels and working alongside Raf Simons.

Built at the intersection of tailoring, literature and contemporary culture, LGN develops each collection from a narrative rather than a trend. Characters, emotions and human relationships become garments through a wardrobe that balances precision, sensuality and functionality. Recognised for its distinctive tailoring and inclusive casting, the house explores clothing as a cultural language capable of expressing identity, vulnerability and desire.

In 2023, LGN was awarded the ANDAM Grand Prix, confirming its place among the leading voices of contemporary French fashion. The house also designed more than 700 costumes for the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, demonstrating its ability to translate its creative vision onto an exceptional scale.

Alongside its runway collections, LGN collaborates with brands and institutions including PUMA, Harley-Davidson, ECCO Leather and La Monnaie de Paris, extending its dialogue between fashion, craftsmanship and contemporary culture while continuing to build an independent international luxury house.
