Some destinations are not visited but felt. Places that transform the way you see, that seep into how you perceive colors, materials and silhouettes. For leo & ugo, it was Lanzarote, which played this role with its black lava still warm beneath the soles, its golden light and its mild breeze laden with sea spray. The Parisian house set up on this volcanic island in the Canaries and returned with a spring-summer collection that is both sun-drenched and deeply rooted in its craftsmanship.

Lanzarote, a natural palette

An island sculpted by volcanoes

In Lanzarote, nature sets the pace. The island seems to have been shaped by fire, wind and sea, amid an almost lunar landscape where cooled lava stretches for miles. In the Timanfaya National Park, the volcanic lands offer a almost striking palette of deep black, burnt red, warm ochre and ash tones. Further on, El Golfo reveals its green lagoon, like an unexpected splash of color amid the dark rocks.

It is precisely this contrast between the raw power of the landscape and the softness that visitors come to leave there guided the spirit of the collection. The fabrics, prints and colors: every choice echoes this intense, luminous island. At Leo & Ugo, summer is not reduced to a simple desire for lightness, but becomes a sunny, feminine and confident look, embracing colors, patterns and details while retaining the Parisian refinement that defines the house.

César Manrique, when art meets the landscape

It is impossible to mention Lanzarote without thinking of César Manrique. The artist profoundly shaped the island by envisioning a unique way of bringing architecture, art and nature into dialogue. His work reminds us that a place can be enhanced without being altered, provided its soul is respected. The Jameos del Agua, carved into a volcanic cave that reaches down to the sea, are the most breathtaking demonstration of this.

This idea naturally resonates with Leo & Ugo’s expertise. Each piece is born from a balance between inspiration and precision, creativity and wearability. The prints are never mere patterns, because they tell a story of an atmosphere, a destination, a sensation.
The landscape print shirt was born from these panoramas where the land and horizon merge. More graphic, the multicolored graphic print shirt captures Lanzarote’s artistic energy through bold lines and colors.

From the beach to the village: how to dress in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is experienced on foot, slowly. In the morning at Papagayo Beach, where the water is such a turquoise that you would never believe it was natural. In the afternoon at the streets of Teguise, with its whitewashed houses and artisan shops. The ideal wardrobe must keep pace with this rhythm: elegant, comfortable, radiant, able to move from one moment to the next without losing its appeal.

Tops & shirts

The short-sleeved openwork shirt has something special in the island's light. The openwork detailing creates a delicate play of shadows on the skin, a lightness that can only truly be seen in full sunlight. The white shirt with black polka dots, more graphic, offers a timeless elegance we think we know by heart and that nevertheless continues to work every season, worn open over a swimsuit or buttoned up with jeans. It is a piece we can imagine just as easily at the Teguise market as on a Parisian street after the holidays.

When it comes to T-shirts, the collection makes clear choices. The graphic print T-shirt  makes a bold statement and adds character to a simple outfit, while the  pastel V-neck print T-shirt softens the silhouette with its gentler shades. As for the blue floral print T-shirt brings a botanical note to a landscape dominated by stone, creating a lovely contrast between freshness and intensity.

Bottoms & denim

The high-waisted wide-leg jeans are the piece we put on every morning without a second thought. Loose without billowing, high-waisted without pinching: a balance that does not happen by accident. The straight-leg jeans with wavy detail focuses more on the details and has a more Parisian line. It is an ideal piece for those who love reinvented basics, simple yet thoughtfully crafted cuts, and clothes that stand out through their precision.

For a more feminine look, the  printed midi skirt with lace detail brings beautiful fluidity. Its print naturally echoes the spirit of the collection, while the lace reflects Leo & Ugo’s appreciation for delicate finishes.
The finishing touch? A gold-tone zinc belt, to accentuate the waist and add a sun-kissed radiance. A simple yet precious detail that immediately gives the whole look more polish.

When Lanzarote sets ablaze: evening dresses

As the sun sets over Lanzarote, the island changes its face. The volcanic landscapes warm up, the contours become softer, and the shadows grow longer. This is when outfits take on another dimension: more sensual, more fluid, more dressed-up, yet always natural.

Maxi dresses: the island in all its glory

The buttoned linen maxi dress has all the makings of a ideal travel piece. Linen brings an authentic, slightly bohemian look, while the buttoned cut structures the silhouette. Wear it open over a swimsuit during the day, then fastened with a belt and sandals at sunset.

More urban in spirit, the long belted shirt dress adapts the codes of the shirt to transform them into a elegant summer dress. It is perfectly suited to women who love clean, easy-to-wear pieces that are always sophisticated. The long polka-dot off-the-shoulder dress embraces an more radiant femininity. Bare shoulders, the movement of the dress, and the polka-dot pattern: everything evokes a summer evening, a dinner by the sea, a look that draws attention.An ideal inspiration for also putting together a date-night outfit on a summer evening.

 

Midi dress & twin-set: evening lightness

For those who prefer mid-length styles, the floral open-back midi dress offers a charming alternative. Its open back adds a sensual touch, while the floral print softens the overall look. It is a dress that is easy to imagine wearing after a day of sightseeing, when all it takes is changing shoes and adding a piece of jewelry to transition into the evening.

The Ecru knit and lace twin-set may be the piece that most faithfully reflects theLeo & Ugo DNA: more delicate, almost precious, it recalls the the house's expertise around the knitwear and artisanal details. Ecru brightens the complexion, lace adds a refined dimension, and together they create a soft, feminine silhouette. With the gold-colored zinc belt, these pieces stand out even more. Gold responds to the evening light, highlights movement, and gives the outfit the chic finishing touch that makes all the difference.

What to pack in your suitcase for Lanzarote

Packing your suitcase for Lanzarote means think in terms of silhouettes rather than individual garments. You need pieces that work well together, are easy to mix and match, and allow you to create several looks without overloading your luggage.
Start with a few bright tops, a printed shirt, a graphic T-shirt, well-cut denim, a midi skirt, then two statement dresses for the evening. Everything should work together within the same palette: white, ecru, blue, a few floral touches, more artistic prints, and of course a little gold.

The bags that travel with you

A right travel bag withstands lava paths, village steps, sea air and still look presentable in the evening at a restaurant. The leather Léo bag meets this requirement. Its leather construction gives it real structure, while its style remains timeless enough to last through many more seasons. The mini leather Léo bag,, more compact, is perfect for moments when you want to travel light. It keeps the essentials close at hand while adding a touch of character to your silhouette. It is the kind of accessory that you take to Lanzarote, then continues to be worn in Paris, as it fits naturally into everyday life.

What to visit in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote reveals itself as a succession of scenes. To experience the full force of the island, the Timanfaya National Park remains a must-see. Its volcanic landscapes give the impression of walking on a land from another world. At El Golfo, the contrast between the green lagoon, black rock and ocean creates one of the island’s most beautiful landscapes.
The Jameos del Agua, designed by César Manrique offer another way to understand Lanzarote: a place where nature and art respond to each other with elegance. For a more beach-focused day, Playa Papagayo captivates with its clear waters and unspoilt atmosphere. Finally, Puerto del Carmen offers a livelier atmosphere, ideal for dinner or an evening stroll.
