Born in Caserta, Luca Larenza is a globetrotter and experimentalist by vocation. After spending four years in Madrid and a long period in which he explores his passion for graffiti while traveling around Europe, in 2009 the designer chooses Milan- the international capital of prêt-à-porter - to carry out his professional project as a self-taught person. From the very beginning, his fashion is characterized, by a personal vision of the Men’s wardrobe key pieces. An uninhibited elegance that roots the designer in his Italian heritage enriched by the choice of excellent quality raw materials. The designer expresses a successful aesthetic, confirmed by various collaborations with international luxury brands. A wearable collection that could be traced back to the use of color, which refers to his past as a street artist. Luca Larenza's work is inspired by contemporary streetwear; the use of colors; the fabrics mix-and-match and the use of precious yarns have become the hallmark of his work His outfits, and in particular knitwear and outerwear, best express Larenza's in-depth chromatic study, which offers a strongly contemporary wardrobe that apparently easily mixes innovation and tradition. Press, buyers and final clients immediately decree the success of the new label which in 2011 was included among the finalists of the Who's on next? Uomo, the scouting project promoted by Altaroma and Vogue Italia. In 2015, Luca Larenza made its debut at the Milan Men's Fashion Week and in 2016, it was selected for the final of the prestigious International Woolmark Prize.
