Lunar Laboratories, the Romanian label founded by Vlad Vraciu, has long explored the intersection of fashion and aerospace. With its sixth collection, the brand reaches a departure in the truest sense. Designed for those on the brink of the unknown, “Escape Velocity” is not just protection against the elements, but preparation for a world in flux.
With each collection, Lunar Laboratories has pushed the boundaries of exploration, treating fashion as an ongoing expedition. Now, the journey takes a definitive turn. “Escape Velocity” marks a point of no return, the first successful departure from Earth’s gravitational pull. This is where chaos meets control, where the unknown collides with an unwavering trust in the journey ahead.
The collection captures the raw energy of acceleration. Sharp silhouettes, dynamic textures, and a tension between structure and fluidity define the collection. Outerwear unfolds into exaggerated volumes, sculpted folds, and articulated panels that echo the geometry of heat shields and deployable structures. Metallic finishes and weightless layers hint at a futuristic frontier, embodying the moment when motion becomes unstoppable. Matte-black surfaces absorb light, while intricate layering suggests an adaptability to unknown conditions.
Lunar Laboratories has always been a study in contrasts, hyper-technical yet deeply tactile, rigorously engineered yet evocatively dystopian. With “Escape Velocity”, Vraciu refines this tension, offering a wardrobe for those who are not waiting for the future but actively breaking toward it. The destination remains unknown. The departure is inevitable.
