L.E.J

About L.E.J

L.E.J is a London label founded in 2020 by Luke Walker, built around a core capsule of casual shirts. Walker trained at Central Saint Martins, started at Lanvin in 2004, then worked at Dunhill and Drake's. The shirts borrow workwear and military details and are made in rich silks, fine voiles and narrow-width Japanese fabrics. The idea is that casual clothes can be made as well as formal ones. Each piece carries a hand-printed silk label designed to fade with use, and the aim is for the shirts to look better worn, frayed and loved. Walker's father was an aerospace engineer, and the hand-drawn plans he drafted in 1966 are a constant source of inspiration.
