Kwaidan Editions is a London-based luxury womenswear brand founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife duo Léa Dickely and Hung La. The pair, who met at Antwerp Royal Academy in 2004, bring complementary expertise - Dickely as a print and textile designer who worked with Rick Owens, and La as a ready-to-wear designer with experience at Balenciaga and Celine. Named after Masaki Kobayashi's 1965 Japanese horror film meaning 'strange stories,' the brand embodies the uncanny and eerie, reinterpreting ghosts of the past to express the present's strangeness. Each collection begins with a cinematic storyboard approach, synthesizing disparate cultural references and unusual materials to create supernatural atmospheres. The brand challenges traditional feminine stereotypes through wearable yet conceptual designs that balance classic tailoring with experimental elements like latex, mesh, and vibrant prints. Despite esoteric inspirations, Kwaidan Editions maintains accessibility through familiar silhouettes - tailored trousers, crisp shirting, and lean dresses that appeal to both men and women.
