Summary

  • Former Sies Marjan designer Sander Lak is launching an eponymous menswear label.
  • Sanderlak will produce two collections per year.
  • The first collection will be shown via private appointments during Paris Fashion Week Men’s this month.

Sander Lak, the brain behind the beloved and now-closed New York label Sies Marjan, is returning to the fashion circle with the launch of his own namesake brand. Stylized as Sanderlak, the imprint is set to debut during Paris Fashion Week Men’s later this month.

Lak, who boasts a Master’s degree in menswear from Central Saint Martins, spent five formative years designing both men’s and womenswear at Dries Van Noten, before launching Sies Marjan in 2016. Despite backing from billionaire husband and wife Nancy and Howard Marks, a CFDA Emerging Designer of the Year trophy, and prime placement on the likes of Barneys New York’s shelves, the label was forced to close its doors in 2020 due to the financial impact of the COVID crisis.

Sanderlak, funded in part by angel investors, will see Lak design menswear-inspired collections shaped by his own global upbringing (he grew up between Malaysia, Gabon, Scotland, and the Netherlands) and his “ongoing exploration of identity and place.” Each collection will center around a specific location, which will inform the line’s themes, colors, fabrics, and demeanor.

Sanderlak will release two main collections each year. The brand will debut its first line in Paris through private appointments next month.
