Luar Unveils Collaboration With Moose Knuckles

If there is one show on the New York Fashion Week schedule that’s bound to make headlines it’s Luar. The brainchild of designer Raul Lopez, the Brooklynite took the city by storm last night with his A/W 24 collection dubbed ‘Deceptionista’. Not only because of his signature uptown meets downtown take on luxury but because of his famous front row featuring none other than Beyoncé herself. Still, there’s more than meets the eye with the collection, including what’s promised to be the first of many collaborations with Moose Knuckles.

‘It’s so exciting to be working with a brand that champions innovation, technology and design,’ says Lopez in today’s press release. ‘Those themes are always at the forefront throughout my design process making this partnership feel so organic’.

As the first designs of the multi-season collaboration, Lopez reimagined Moose Knuckles’ iconic weather-resistant outerwear, drawing on the Canadian brand’s archives. Crafted from their signature nylon, the capsule collection seamlessly integrates the aesthetics of both brands blending a dedication to warmth and Luar’s commitment to pushing design boundaries.

The philosophy behind Lopez’s work is rooted in the intersection of New York City and the Dominican Republic, championing constant curiosity and the redefinition of timeless design to celebrate unhindered identity. Similarly, Moose Knuckles has a commitment to creating the world’s warmest coats with the world’s metropolises in mind.

'I deeply respect Raul’s vision and it has been a treat to witness what he has built with Luar', says Moose Knuckles' global artistic director Carlos Nazario. 'Growing up in this industry together, it was a natural choice to collaborate with him, my chosen family. The beauty of this collaboration comes to life through our shared experiences, and I am thrilled to finally marry the Moose Knuckles and Luar communities.'
