My guest this week is Luke Walker of L.E.J.
The founder of one of our favorite brands, Luke cut his teeth at LANVIN for years before eventually starting L.E.J., a brand that grew directly out of his own wardrobe.
Along with a bit of early-2000s fashion talk, we get into loneliness in menswear, the difference between designing clothes and actually developing them, and why traditional ideas around fit and formality can leave people feeling disconnected from what they’re wearing.
Things get a little spicy at times as we talk about tailoring as a way to rethink proportion and confidence, and how garments earn meaning through wear. Finally, we unpack the realities of running a small brand — timelines, availability, and what growth really looks like.
