Our 170th Anniversary Special

We’ve done our very best to bring exceptional curations to our community of customers since 1850. For our 170th, we’re bringing you extra special, exclusive collections from Thom Browne, Gabriela Hearst, Sacai x Li Lihong, René Caovilla, Knoll, Fornasetti, Baccarat x Be@rbrick – all to remember our history, celebrate our present, and reimagine luxury as a part of our vision for the future.

Working exclusively with Lane Crawford, Thom has selected and reworked 17 suits from his personal archive – pieces he has worn himself, some dating back to when he started his brand 15 years ago; all handmade in his Long Island, New York tailoring facility. He has taken classic grey suits made from the highest quality English suiting fabrics, of both summer and winter weights, all customised with authentic patches representing 20th century American teams’ sports, and his own trademark grosgrain ribbons. Every suit has been hand-distressed, showing Thom’s love for well loved, worn-in, and storied clothing. Every single piece of the collection is unique and  unisex.

“I’ve had a relationship with Lane Crawford for almost 15 years. It’s important to me to have a retailer that supports the creativity of pure design and really conceptual ideas – that’s something really and something Lane Crawford has always encouraged,” Thom  said.

“The idea was to take my classic grey suit idea and interpret it into a special collection of 17 suits for the 170-year celebration,” Thom said. “I think the most interesting thing about the capsule is that you see clothing I wore 15 years ago - old pieces that are beautifully made and, in a way, look even better 15 years later than when they were  new.”

Exhibition at Lane Crawford ifc mall and online at www.lanecrawford.com November 5-19, 2020.

Gabriela Hearst has worked exclusively with Lane Crawford for its 170th anniversary to create the Retrofit Capsule. Taking 18 loved styles from her archives, Gabriela has reinterpreted them in new ways using upcycled materials including cashmere and leather, using tie-dye techniques as well as utilising hand embroidery, to update her signature silhouettes. The capsule includes skirts, dresses, blazers, trousers, knits and puffers; including a piece that bears the badge of the famous Hearst family estate, San Simeon. The collection embodies her commitment to creating timeless pieces through sustainable methods. Gabriela’s process for the Retrofit Capsule has been documented throughout and customers can see the upcycling transformation from the original piece to the final product.

“For us to make a retrofit collection, it was a dream. It’s a project that we’ve worked for a few years thinking about it and to be able to launch it with Lane Crawford, exclusively in Asia is an amazing platform. We’re very excited to do the most sustainable action you can do: repurpose something existing and create something new and beautiful,” Gabriela said.

Available in Lane Crawford ifc mall and online at www.lanecrawford.com from October 12, 2020.

Gabriela is known for her highly covetable handbags and to mark this special anniversary she is also staging an exclusive launch of five new handbags with Lane Crawford, which will launch with a special pop-up at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong.

Sacai ’s Chitose Abe has worked with Lane Crawford since her first collections, so celebrating Lane Crawford’s 170th anniversary called for something very special.

Chitose has partnered with ceramic artist Li Lihong, who is known for combining traditional blue and white painted china techniques with sculptural pieces of iconic consumer products and brands, including Mickey Mouse ears and the McDonald’s logo. Chitose was particularly taken with Li’s Coca Cola bottle, so together they have created 20 sets of Coca Cola bottle sculptures painted with Sacai ’s latest prints; all held in a classic buddy-bottle-holder made of Perspex, emblazoned with the Sacai logo. In the entire world, there are only just five that have been signed. These limited edition sets are available only in Hong Kong.

“Lane Crawford had been one of the great long-time partners and has always been respectful to sacai ’s DNA when it comes to representing the brand in any occasions. This particular collaboration with Li LiHong was actually chosen by my intuition, when I was first introduced to his artwork by Lane Crawford. I immediately was inspired by his authentic work, which is the hybridization of the traditional technique and the contemporary iconography, which I felt is common to sacai philosophy, to reinterpret familiar products and transform them to something new. I am very excited to have this unique opportunity to go beyond the usual fashion framework,” Chitose said.

Available in Lane Crawford stores and online at www.lanecrawford.com from October 12, 2020.

René Caovilla collaborates with Lane Crawford to present a glamourous René Caovilla x Peggy Guggenheim capsule — a global-exclusive release specially created to celebrate our 170th anniversary. There are three key elements that inspired the three pieces of this capsule: the mesh-web, jewel-entwined design of the entrance gate of the Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice (the Museum Door Slingback and Mule); Peggy's signature bold butterfly-shaped sunglasses, which she had specially commissioned by American artist Edward Melcarth (the Butterfly Slingback); and, naturally, the architectural curves of her favourite pair of René Caovilla shoes (the Butterfly Sandal).

Revered for its family legacy for making exquisite luxury pieces, and adored for their iconic representations of modern femininity, this special capsule is every shoe collector’s dream. Available in Lane Crawford ifc mall and Canton Road and online at www.lanecrawford.com now.
