LGB - Crack Coating "Back Cross" Blazer

Le Grand Bleu (L.G.B.) is a Japanese fashion label founded in 1999 by designer Nobuhiko Satoh in Tokyo. Known for its rebellious, rock-infused aesthetic, L.G.B. gained prominence through its emphasis on handmade denim, deconstructed silhouettes, and an avant-garde approach to streetwear. As part of the Maniac Corporation—alongside sister brand If Six Was Nine—L.G.B. developed a signature style rooted in asymmetry, raw textures, and distressed finishes. The brand’s ethos found resonance among Japan’s visual kei and rock subcultures, particularly with influential artists such as Gackt and Hyde, who were often seen wearing its unconventional pieces both on and off stage. Through its limited production runs, bespoke craftsmanship, and deep ties to music and alternative fashion, L.G.B. carved out a cult-like following and remains a cornerstone of underground Japanese fashion.

This artifact of a garment, forged under the name of L.G.B., radiates an aged elegance rooted in decay and ritual. The crack-coated exterior—layered with a specialized treatment—forms a textured shell that fractures and evolves with time, embodying the wearer’s journey through abrasion and grace. Two structured outer pockets and two concealed inner compartments provide subtle practicality, embedded seamlessly within the blazer’s sculpted silhouette. Polished wooden buttons line the hem like forgotten talismans, while a fossil-like toggle clasp at the chest acts as the garment’s anchoring relic—inviting notions of preservation and erosion. The interior, fully lined in silk, whispers with movement and breathes a quiet opulence beneath the fractured shell. On the reverse, a solitary cross-stitch is emblazoned along the spine, acting as a silent sigil—equal parts burden and blessing. A piece not merely worn, but gradually absorbed; it chronicles time, memory, and metamorphosis in every crack.
