For Fall/Winter 2026, Louis Gabriel Nouchi begins with a movie tagline: “In space, no one can hear you scream.” It’s from Ridley Scott’s Alien, a film the designer wasn’t allowed to watch as a child. He could only hear it from his room (the music, the screams) and that sonic terror stayed with him for years.
When he finally saw the film as a teenager, the shock was aesthetic. He was drawn to H.R. Giger’s designs, Sigourney Weaver’s outfits, and the strange sensuality tangled with horror. He identified with the saga’s heroines: cloned, hunted, autonomous, always in resistance.
The collection explores this tension: between fear and desire, anxiety and sensuality, violence and eroticism. It imagines a crew lost in space, bodies awakened from hypersleep, where sex is a danger, a shower is a trap, and pleasure is a threat.
The starting point was sketching headpieces. How to embody the facehugger parasite without it becoming a costume? The answer is in hair devouring the face, in anonymity as an amplifier of desire. Skin is revealed strategically (mouths, collarbones, bare backs, through transparency) as a graphic zone of both desire and power.
Silhouettes are elongated. There is narrow tailoring, long sleeves, and slightly flared trousers. Coats have the brand’s signature powerful shoulders, creating the illusion of an extended body. This contrasts with cocooned forms and the comical, massive footprint of vintage military Bunny Boots. The belly, as a site of birth and emotion, is highlighted with draped tuxedos and pleated slits on silk jersey. Faces seem to emerge from tops, trapped inside lingerie-like jerseys.
The collection also speaks to the fear of sex, its forbidden, dangerous nature. That these themes birthed a horror film, the designer notes, says everything about their ambivalence.
This season also sees a new partnership. The collaboration with OnlyFans and the launch of LGN OF aligns with the brand’s exploration of elevated sensuality, diverted fetishism, and an inclusive eroticism. As the designer frames it: private does not mean pornographic. It is about photographs of desire within an exclusive, inclusive circle.
