LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi Fall Winter 2023 – 2024 at Paris Men’s Fashion Week Present AMERICAN PSYCHO

Reflecting Louis Gabriel Nouchi’s lifetime passion for reading, each collection pays tribute to a book or a writer who has inscribed their vision on the world.

LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi Fall Winter 2023 collection is inspired by the book “American Psycho“ by Bret Easton Ellis (1991 ).

This collection is a reflection about toxic masculinity. The violence that surrounds us is distorted in a way to create beauty, transforming horror into strength.

It’s also questioning the norms of society by showing different male body types which are all exuding sensuality.

TAILORING

How Patrick Bateman, the “American Psycho” ’s protagonist obsessed with his style, is still relevant ?

The strong shoulder line is inspired from the businessman suits of the 1980s. The waist is narrowed.

The collection is a variation of tailoring jackets, dressing gowns and Activewear pieces, all mixed with the comfort and sensuality of loungewear inspired pieces treated with the same refinement as evening clothing.

LEATHER

For the first time LGN works with leather in partnership with ECCO LEATHER. Transparent leather inspired by Bateman murder coat uses a new tanning technic with no chemicals, like a parchment.

Chainsaw and axes are covered in repurposed leather. Defused and harmless, they are worn as designed handbags.

DRAPING

A new design of draped jersey tops and dresses recalls women evening gowns as the cellophane Patrick Bateman was wrapping his victims in.

COLORS AND FABRICS

The color palette evokes both sensuality and danger: black, white, blood red, with city banker blue.

The seasonal print of the collection is based on the splashes left by blood on the clothes, memory of a violence, weaved into a tonal black satin jacquard.

Lacerations are becoming a new dévoré jersey print, cuts of transparency are becoming a new way of suggesting part of the body.

Mohair knitwear are inspired by 1980’s styles, adding textures on signatures pieces like jogging pants, sweaters and tank tops.

THE SLIT

Signature of the brand, the slit remains present on the neckline of top pieces, shirt and jersey pieces whereas it bares the male hip on the underwear. The slit is like a blade cut on shirts, sweaters and tights, making different ways of styling.

MALE BODIES INCLUSIVITY

Started on the fall winter 2022 – 2023 season, their presence proves a different, real and desirable vision of the male bodies.
