Founded in 2003 by former professional boxer Arashi Yanagawa, John Lawrence Sullivan is a Japanese fashion brand built on the concepts of strength and elegance. Yanagawa, who learned design by deconstructing vintage garments, named the brand after the legendary 19th-century American heavyweight champion as a nod to a fighter's spirit and dignity. The brand’s foundation is its precise and powerful tailoring, which merges traditional craftsmanship with a subversive, punk-infused energy. Yanagawa's background informs the sharp, aggressive, and yet refined silhouettes that define both his menswear and the womenswear line, which was introduced in 2010.
