Gustavolins (France)

Gustavo Lins studied architecture until a realization that he’d rather work with fabric instead of glass and steel. In 2003 his namesake label was founded. He is a member of the Chambre syndicale de la haute couture. This architectural vision and haute couture craftsmanship inform his ready-to-wear from the cut and construction to signature details such as the upside down T stitch that helps shape the shoulders, spiral seams, and leather piping. Gustavolins menswear is based on the idea of quiet luxury.
