LORD x Lanvin "Architect" Pleated Trousers

Tailoring. Reconstructed.

The ARCHITECT Pleated Trouser is a radical act of tailoring, forged from the core architecture of the Lanvin Black Future Edition and reimagined through the deconstructive lens of LORD by Smiff. This 1 of 1 archival piece represents a precise collision of institutional luxury and industrial reconstruction.

The Lanvin Foundation: Utilizing a premium Lanvin Black Future Edition chassis, the trouser maintains its inherent quality. A dense, technical wool-blend with a deep-black matte finish that serves as a canvas for the transformation.

The Architectural Suture: Through a complex 'recreation' process, the posterior construction is radically modified. A localized, high-definition box pleat system is engineered into the rear waist and hip, utilizing LORD BY SMIFF’s signature 'suture' technique. This modification introduces an aggressive, asymmetric volume that redefines the trouser’s movement and stance. This isn't standard tailoring; it’s an architectural reinforcement, transforming a simple rear panel into a structural artifact.

Tailored Geometry:

• Rear Pleat Symmetery: The pleat structure on the back is executed with mathematical precision, creating a "vent" effect that expands with movement and provides a powerful, grounded profile.

• Refined Front Profile: The front retains its sophisticated Lanvin lines, maintaining the original refined crease and fit, allowing for a sharp juxtaposition between the clean front and the structural rear.

• Integrated Suture Line: A singular, high-contrast, white 'suture' line runs subtly along the lateral seam and front hip pocket, serving as a signature identification of the reconstruction.

Composition: Heavyweight Technical Wool-Blend. Origin: Hand-finished in NYC. Fit: Exaggerated Tapered Flare / Structural Volume.
