About

Sharp silhouettes. Made in Berlin.

GAILLARD VIVANT reaches into the historical archive of the cut and removes the protocol. Clean lines, distinctive colour, precise craftsmanship.

At the core stand the Frazer and the Justaucoeur — not reinterpretations, but new garments. The Frazer draws its construction from the tailcoat. The Justaucoeur draws from the baroque justaucorps — vertical, close to the body, without ceremony. Both carry their origin without showing it.

Every piece begins as an individual prototype in the GAILLARD VIVANT studio.

GAILLARD VIVANT produces exclusively to order: bespoke pieces for individual clients and small-batch production only after pre-orders from trade partners. This means no overproduction and no unsold goods.We work with deadstock fabrics and certified materials, as well as leftover materials from our own costume and stage work. At least three upcycled pieces are created for every collection. Alteration and repair are part of the service for both bespoke and small-batch pieces, so that garments can be worn for a long time.
