Victor Glemaud

Haitian-American designer Victor Glemaud graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and cut his teeth working for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger and Paco Rabanne before launching his namesake label in 2006. Originally creating menswear as well as womenswear, Glemaud streamlined and relaunched in 2015 with the renewed aim of femme-focused output. Known for his characteristic knitwear, the New York-based designer expertly employs patterns and bright pop colors to evoke 1970’s era chic and pay homage to icons such as Grace Jones and the eminent Diana Ross. Lettuce-frilled skirts, dresses, and crop tops strike a limber balance between formality and nonchalance, while animal-printed knit cardigans, sweaters, and trousers presented in bold colorways express an inviting self-confidence and infectious joy. Equally at home on a dancefloor as at a dinner-party, Glemaud’s designs are lovingly body-conscious and without fault figure-flattering and form-friendly. With influences that span diverse decades, cultures, and identities, Victor Glemaud creates clothing that is as naturally expressive as it is intentionally inclusive.
