Luar's Raul Lopez continued his discourse on class anxiety with a slick run of outerwear as he now battles to win the LVMH Prize.
Less than 12 hours after Luar’s fall 2023 show, its designer Raul Lopez was named a semifinalist for the LVMH Prize — marking more than a decade’s journey that led him from the corners of downtown basement dance halls to transatlantic flights on a luxury conglomerate’s expense account.
For fall, Lopez translated that tension into a collection he titled “Calle pero elegante,” or “street but elegant.” It was a taxi ride through Lopez’s childhood — a lesson in the outer borough opulence, Wall Street executives, Upper East Side ladies and club kids that he observed along the way. Lopez grew up in Williamsburg with his nose pressed up against the glass staring at Manhattan — longing for its wealth and slick refinement. His show, at the Faurschou Foundation in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, was only a 15-minute walk from the apartment he grew up in and down the street from the pier where he would go fishing with his cousin.
