Lane Crawford Profiles Introducing Façonnable

From expertly cut pique polo shirts to sophisticated knitwear, Façonnable’s French Riviera heritage imbues each piece with a distinctive sense of European elegance. Founded in the 1950s, its new Artistic Director, Daniel Kearns, launches his debut collection this season, fusing a tailored approach with the signature Façonnable DNA.

Façonnable Daniel Kearns

Having designed menswear at the esteemed fashion houses of Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Louis Vuitton, if there’s one thing this Dublin-born designer knows well, it’s what constitutes the perfect men’s wardrobe pieces.

Façonnable Design Details

From its inception, Façonnable has placed precision cutting and luxury fabrics at the very core of the brand, cementing these qualities as design characteristics that have stood the test of time. In the mid 1970s, the brand created the “Facorain”, a waterproof membrane lining still found in Kearns’ collection today. Crafted in Europe, each piece embodies an understated refinement that fits seamlessly into the contemporary gent’s arsenal. Think plush cashmere sweaters, clean wool suits and luxe leather jackets.

“I was inspired by Façonnable’s unique association with the lifestyle of the French Riviera and its heritage in mixing sartorial tailoring and sportswear separates.”
Façonnable Autumn Winter 2014

This season, Kearns focused on refining the brand’s French Riviera aesthetic for the modern gent. The result is a collection of pieces that you can’t imagine how you went without. It’s sportswear with a heavy dose of tailoring. Look out for details like soft construction, braiding and a subtle play on textures and colours.

“I aimed to create a contemporary wardrobe true to the brand’s DNA; chic, elegant, effortless, classic with a contemporary twist.”
