LGN Louis Gabriel Nouchi Fall 2026

Louis-Gabriel Nouchi’s Fall 2026 collection channels the tension and fascination he first felt as a child hearing the sounds of Ridley Scott’s Alien without seeing the film. That mixture of fear and allure informs the universe he has been building at LGN, explored here through sculpted tailoring and theatrical touches. Guests arriving in a dimly lit underground parking garage were met with tuxedo jackets elongated to statuesque proportions, pleating that hinted at the film’s iconic imagery, and filmy cupro dresses that suggested membranes in motion. Hair sculptures by Charlie Le Mindu served as fantastical “facehuggers,” grounding the collection in its cinematic inspiration without stepping into literal horror.

Beyond the nods to Alien, Nouchi introduced outerwear with cocooning proportions and functional references, including half-zip anoraks paired with cargo pants that riffed on boiler suits. Materials played a central role, with crisp nylons, putty-toned wools, padded cottons and plush fleeces evoking spacecraft interiors, while black-rinsed denim, glossy latex and jacquards with oil-like motifs recalled the film’s darker, otherworldly aesthetics. Even minimalist pieces, like a tank and brief ensemble inspired by Sigourney Weaver’s costume, were thoughtfully integrated into the narrative, balancing spectacle with wearable fantasy.

The collection also marked a collaboration with OnlyFans, reflecting Nouchi’s interest in the platform as a tool for creators across disciplines. The LGN account will explore behind-the-scenes content from the label, delving into discussions of the body, sensuality and inclusivity in a space designed for mature, safe conversation. By blending cinematic imagination with practical innovation and digital engagement, Nouchi presented a show that was at once daring, playful and unmistakably grounded in his own vision of contemporary menswear.
