EGONLAB, France

Egonlab designers Florentin Glémarec and Kevin Nompeix list Jean-paul Gaultier, Alexander Mcqueen, and Phoebe Philo as their influences—as well as their own grandparents.“they perfectly mixed tailoring and sportswear!” says the design duo. Just two years after the creation of the brand, Egonlab was named a finalist for the Pierre Bergé prize of the ANDAM Fashion Award.their “tailored urban-punk” pieces deliberately live in the “in-between” spaces: never quite categorizable, their clothes serve as malleable armor for their wearers, who are free to make of them what they please.
