Lucas Miller’s background—rooted in his years working at a local nonprofit farm and early education on a farm—fuels his brand's dedication to creating garments that are not only wearable but also at the forefront of utilitarian innovation and sustainability. His experiences in the outdoors underscored the need for functional, durable apparel capable of withstanding daily wear and harsh weather while promoting environmental responsibility. As he progressed in his fashion design education at Parsons School of Design in New York City, being surrounded by international students exposed him to diverse global influences, sparking an interest in Korean techwear. This inspiration is reflected in his silhouettes, which are characterized by a predominantly black color palette. L. MILLER’s designs challenge modern fashion norms, saturated by hyper-consumerism and the mechanized churn of assembly lines, by merging traditional tailoring with innovative shapes and materials, offering a fresh perspective on conventional silhouettes and manufacturing approaches.
