Artist info

Lugosis

Get to know Luca Lugosis, the artist behind LUGOSIS MILANO. Some refer to him as “Enfant perdu” and the tattoo on his face makes it clear. No wonder, LUGOSIS started drawing before he was even able to speak. Everywhere and whenever there was time, he would work on his creations without even looking up. Using the walls of his family's home in Italy as canvases, these walls quickly turned to be the facades of big cities. Losing himself in his drawings and later in the streets, like a stray dog at night, the now Berlin Based artist left his nest and is mostly traveling around the world. Nevertheless, Milan played a major role in evolving into who LUGOSIS is today. The streets, the walls, the trains, and the people which connect him to the Italian metropole led the all-rounder to be one of the most eligible underground artists Europe has to offer. The cartoons he draws may seem childish and playful, but you might want to take a closer look. The way LUGOSIS transforms his thoughts and perception of the world into illustrations might make you lose your breath. Inspired by different characters, the weirdos and the misfits, the artist recognizes beauty in the unusual. He’s is expressing his own reality, through a variety of creative approaches. From graffiti to tattooing, he is not trying to judge but to understand. After collaborating with different kinds of Streetwear brands, from “garage screen printers” to the “big players“, every project he involved in, was celebrated by many. It was only a question of time for LUGOSIS to bring his work to another level and create something on his own.

The idea for “Varsi Workwear” collection was born from the garments that we have produced over time for the activities that we carry out in our laboratory and that, starting from today, we have the opportunity to share with all of you.

This collection of work jackets was created as part of Varsi’s artist residency project. In fact, during these, each artist worked on the decoration of a jacket, thus making it a unique garment.

The medium for the entire collection consists of vintage jackets used by French railroad workers. It is a blue jacket with a button closure to which three pockets are applied.

Labels designed by She.Lab are hand-sewn on each jacket by Alessia Di Pasquale (Dipa).

The project is curated by Base/34
