Literature Noir


When a burning passion for fashion meets pure talent, instantaneous combustion occurs, or in this case, Literature Noir is born. The innovative label is a collection of streetwear that is sleek, sophisticated and features a modern edge. The line started with a women’s collection, but has since launched a menswear department as well. Graphic tees make up a bulk of their offering, but the hard edged effect of these are softened by soft, cotton dress shirts and meticulously styled pants.

For the women, Literature Noir provides a fascinating ensemble of funky, sleek designs that are hard to resist. As rock edged and tough as is the brand’s philosophy, the label does not compromise on femininity, and each garment exudes understated sex appeal. You can expect to find body fitting jackets made from buttery soft leather, or sophisticated blazers with studs on the lapels and shoulder pads. Literature Noir is a brand that is not afraid of jazzing up the most conventional styles and giving them their own signature look. Dresses that are form fitting, with daring slits and elaborately embellished, studs will give one the persona of a glamorous rock star.

Literature Noir is the result of the collaboration between Istanbul born Kaya B and L.A born and bred Elliot Hans. As a result of the pair’s diverse backgrounds, Literature Noir is a delightful meld of cultures, styles and tastes. Literature Noir is a cutting edge brand that lets you savor the best of two entirely different styles; classic sophistication with beautifully cut linen pants and lightweight knit sweaters, as well as cool rock chic with more edgy pieces.
