WHO ARE WE?

L. MILLER is a student-led brand based in New York City by Lucas Miller, a Fashion Design student at Parsons School of Design, aimed at dressing the active professional. Working in the industry since age 18, Lucas has learned key design and manufacturing skills that he applies to his own work. He combines traditional tailoring methods with unconventional technical wear, synthesizing urban influences with utility. At L. MILLER, functionality is prioritized alongside fashion, treating apparel as a crucial intermediary between the wearer and their environment. While design aesthetics are integral to Lucas’s creative process, the primary focus remains on the protective, regulatory, and storage functions of each garment and textiles that creates it. Lucas uses unconventional natural fiber alternatives or recycled-synthetics not yet seen in large scale production when possible, aiming for a closed-loop process that reduces environmental impact. His designs are about clear, purposeful proportions that also make the wearer feel and look good. Grounded in positive environmental and community impact, low-cost exploitative production is not in the brand's DNA. Each piece is made-to-order by Lucas in Parsons’ studios, with a standard production time of over 10 business days. Customization options are available for details like notions, fit, closures, and linings, assessed case-by-case via private consultation.

  • L. MILLER is rooted in small batch production. Our garments are crafted in limited quantities, which is the reason for frequent "sold out" banners. This approach drives innovation by allowing us to dedicate our resources to developing fresh designs rather than mass-producing existing ones.

  • Every garment is individually cut and sewn upon request, reducing waste and environmental impact by eliminating excess inventory and minimizing financial strain. We strive to price our goods as close as possible to the combined cost of raw materials and labor, considering that they are entirely handmade.

  • We are dedicated to maintaining transparency throughout our supply chains, recognizing that opacity can enable poor working conditions and environmental exploitation. By openly sharing information about our suppliers and sourcing practices, we ensure accountability for the materials used in crafting our products.

  • All of our garments are proudly manufactured in-house in the USA, with our studio locations varying seasonally. While primarily based in the Parsons Making Studios in Manhattan, we also operate out of Boston, MA at times.

  • Our commitment extends beyond creating durable, high-quality pieces. We take responsibility for finding sustainable solutions for each garment beyond its initial use, whether through consignment or fiber recycling.
