JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN

A Japanese menswear brand established in 2003 by Arashi Yanagawa. The collection, created by a designer with the unique background of being a former professional boxer, features a sharp, sophisticated style that combines strength and elegance. It reinterprets traditional menswear elements like military and tailoring into contemporary mode fashion.

The 2026 Autumn/Winter Collection unfolds against the backdrop of designer Ran Yanagawa's career as a professional boxer, exploring themes of distance from society, defiance, and self-defense. The collection layers in the ascetic spirituality of dark metal subculture—most notably Scandinavian black metal—to pursue a minimal yet rugged aesthetic stripped of excessive ornamentation. The season's defining pieces—long coats, tailored jackets, and bomber jackets—embody an inner conflict through a forward-leaning silhouette that evokes the stance of a boxer.
