Founded in London by husband-and-wife duo Léa Dickely and Hung La in 2017, Kwaidan Editions drew its name and atmospheric mood from Masaki Kobayashi’s 1965 Japanese horror film. With professional backgrounds at Céline, Balenciaga, and Rick Owens, the founders created a brand rooted in the uncanny, exploring the tension between the familiar and the strange. The label became known for its precise, sharp tailoring, which gave wearable forms to unconventional materials like latex, lurid floral prints, and technical fabrics often used for interiors.
