THE UNIVERSE OF LUAN BY LUCIA
THE HOLISTIC PRESENCE OF THE SELF
Introducing and exploring, viewing and revealing, perceiving and realising. A divided world, yet complete in the Self. The outside is busy updating the image in a constant, seeking answers and examining all that is around, above and below. The inside is silent and still: it holds the key to one’s truest authentic reality. None of them alone, yet both at work are able to arrive at harmony.
Becoming the aligned Self standing brave yet still in this fine-cut balance is the foundation of the holistic approach.
Getting to know your preference of aesthetics, styles and habits, translating your outer and inner tone-of-voices into your signature appearance is our way of navigating you back to your best self, the one in perfect harmony.
Let us show you around in the home of holistic creations, where the connection between your Self and your appearance is the No.1 priority.
LUCIA S. HEGYI
FOUNDER, FASHION DESIGNER, MASTER TAILOR OF LUAN BY LUCIA
We all know that our physical presence, our appearance is not just about how we look, but also about how we experience ourselves. Our experience is that everything that is inside has to be in sync with the outside, the actual appearance. To get these seemingly two sides in harmony is the basis of the holistic approach.
"I call upon my intuition and my past experiences to help get in balance in the physical presence and to create a perfect unit of the inner world and the outer appearance.”
Together we start on a journey of discovering all aspects and values you represent and then we begin the process of conscious creation. This exploration of the Self becomes a personal revelation while the process of tailoring shifts into the actualization of a tailor-made Self.
Those who give a visit to the Luan by Lucia tailoring experience have one thing in common: they all choose their most authentic Self, whatever it takes.
"I am who I am. I am I."
OUR STORY
In 1989, Lucia S. Hegyi and Andor Kovács founded the brand “Luan” and took on a journey of designing, together. The collaboration was born in harmony, yet its long-term establishment faced struggles. In the early 90s the master tailoress listened to her heart and made a painful decision: she continued to pursue her individual vision. Her family partaking she continued the brand as Luan by Lucia with the mission to give life back to the once acknowledged Hungarian fashion, to make it visible once again both in its home-country and abroad, on international grounds.
Looking back, it was a very much against-the-current decision to invest in tailoring high-end categories and producing bespoke creations in the midst of the flourishing boutique-age. Lucia went for the timelessness of luxury brand building.
Soon after the turn of the millennium the first confection line was launched under the brand name Luan by Lucia and got distributed internationally, also at Harrods amongst many others. Yet the often very binding conditions of serial production, the ever so busy chase for seasonality combined with the depersonalization of the fashion pieces the master tailoress could not identify with anymore.
Two decades have passed since the House of Luan by Lucia applied the very principles of slow-fashion to connect the individual appearance with its tailor-made creation, all on the basis of the holistic approach.

THE LEGACY
CREATION IN SEVEN ACTS
"Quality time is the most valuable you can give someone”
Well, this someone should be You! - according to us, at least. Give yourself that which you truly deserve!
Decades of practical experience and creation has led to a unique methodology of the holistic fashion design. Our methods give tools to discover the physical appearance along with the inner personality and its hidden treasures.
It can be a particular event you are preparing for, or any of our other bespoke design experiences, you are guided through the following seven acts of the creative process:
-
Welcoming - An introduction: personal needs and preferences, existing wardrobe, style sets
-
Connecting - A questionnaire: getting to know the inner Self
-
Measuring - Taking measurements
-
Selecting - Choosing fabrics and clothing accessories
-
Fitting - The first fitting
-
Adjusting - Making adjustments, additional fittings (2-4 occasions)
-
Presenting - Appearance in the final creation tailor-made for You
This exact process guarantees that the creation is defacto tailor-made for your truest personality and that it will physically serve the highest good for your body, heart, mind and soul. A grounding piece of Artwork, a suit for your highest self.
The completion of the process takes 2-12 weeks depending on the complexity of the attire, the availability of selected fabrics and the number of fitting appointments necessary for the best result. Possible exceptions are creations of our Bespoke Budapest services.
QUALITY
SOURCING OF HIGHEST STANDARDS
All our physical creative processes begin at the Source: the conscious selection of fabrics and other materials. Our House is dedicated to the highest standards of supply: from the excellent silks of the English james Hare throughout the fine wools of the French Dormeuil to the Dutch & Sherry cashmeres and bouclés, the great majority of our fabrics are made by textile manufacturers of proven high standards.
