There are destinations that are not visited but felt. Places that transform the way we see, that seep into how we perceive colors, materials, and silhouettes. For leo & ugo, it was Lanzarote that played this role, with its black lava still warm beneath our soles, its golden light, and its mild breeze laden with sea spray. The Parisian fashion house set down its bags on this volcanic Canary Island and returned with a spring-summer collection that is both sun-kissed 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, in an almost lunar landscape where cooled lava stretches for miles. In the Timanfaya National Park, the volcanic lands offer a an 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 the raw power of the landscape and the softness that visitors come to leave there, which guided the spirit of the collection. The fabrics, prints, and colors: every choice echoes this intense, luminous island. At Leo & Ugo, summer is not simply about a desire for lightness; it becomes a sunny, feminine, and confident style, embracing colors, patterns, and details while retaining the Parisian sensibility that defines the brand.

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 conversation. His work reminds us that a place can be enhanced without being altered, provided its spirit is respected. The Jameos del Agua, sculpted directly into a volcanic cave that reaches down to the sea, are the most breathtaking example.

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 just patterns, because they tell a story of an atmosphere, a destination, a feeling.
The landscape print shirt was born from the panoramas where earth and horizon merge. More graphic, the multicolored graphic print shirt channels Lanzarote’s artistic energy through bold lines and colors.

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

Lanzarote is best experienced on foot, slowly. In the morning at Papagayo Beach, where the water is such an incredible turquoise that it hardly seems natural. In the afternoon in 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 allure.

Tops & shirts

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

When it comes to T-shirts, the collection takes a clear stance. The graphic-print T-shirt  makes a bold statement and gives character to a simple outfit, while the  pastel V-neck printed T-shirt softens the silhouette with its gentler shades. As for the blue floral-print T-shirt brings a touch of greenery 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. Wide without billowing, high-waisted without pinching: a balance that does not happen by chance. The straight-leg jeans with wavy detail focuses more on detail and has a more Parisian line. It is an ideal piece for those who love reimagined basics, simple yet thoughtfully designed 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 reflects the spirit of the collection, while the lace recalls Leo & Ugo’s love of delicate finishing touches.
The finishing touch? A gold-tone zinc belt, to emphasize the waist and add a sunny radiance. A simple yet precious detail that instantly gives the outfit more polish.

When Lanzarote blazes: evening dresses

When the sun sets over Lanzarote, the island takes on a new 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 long buttoned linen dress has all the makings of a ideal travel piece. Linen lends 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 belted shirt maxi dress reinterprets the codes of the shirt to transform them into a elegant summer dress. It is perfect for women who love clean, easy-to-wear pieces that are always sophisticated. The polka-dot off-the-shoulder maxi dress embraces an more radiant femininity. The bare shoulders, the movement of the dress, and the polka-dot pattern: everything evokes a summer evening, dinner by the sea, and a look that draws the eye.An ideal inspiration for also putting together an outfit for a date 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 most faithful to theLeo & Ugo DNA: more delicate, almost precious, it recalls the house's expertise around the knitwear and artisanal details. Ecru brings light to the complexion, lace adds a refined dimension, and together they create a soft, feminine silhouette. With the gold zinc belt, these pieces stand out even more. Gold responds to the evening light, highlights movement and gives the outfit that 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 complement one another, mix and match easily, and allow you to create several looks without overpacking.
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 in 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 can handle lava paths, village stairways, sea air salt and still look presentable in the evening at a restaurant. The leather Léo bag meets this requirement. Its leather material 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 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, fitting so naturally into everyday life.

Our Lanzarote favorites

What to visit in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote reveals itself as a succession of scenes. To experience the island's full power, the Timanfaya National Park remains a must-see. Its volcanic landscapes give the impression of walking on a land from another world. To 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-oriented day, Playa Papagayo enchants visitors with its clear waters and unspoilt atmosphere. Finally, Puerto del Carmen offers a livelier atmosphere, ideal for dinner or an evening stroll.
