GEORGES RECH

A Japan-focused derivative line managed as a GR code within Lapine’s planning department, which began online sales in 2019. In addition to being offered through the Lapine online store, it is displayed under its brand name in department store black formalwear sections, and is operated separately from the main GEORGES RECH brand in the planning department’s brand classification. It serves formalwear demand.

Launched in 1973 as a coordinated separate line complementing the main collection, it was not so much a standalone product range as a line intended to enhance the overall look when combined with existing GEORGES RECH clothing. In later years, it was also developed into capsule projects under the name “SYNONYME DE GEORGES RECH.” In 2015, projects encompassing not only clothing but also bedding, cushions, and candles were documented, and the line functioned as a derivative line that expanded the main line through a different entry point.

Introduced in 1983 as a third line, it was developed as a junior line centered on knitwear and woven separates. Its structure was characterized by greater freedom to mix and match than the main line. In the brand’s history, it was trademarked as “UNANYME DE GEORGES RECH,” and its expansion into accessories is also documented. Within GEORGES RECH, it occupied a role with uses and a product range distinct from the main women’s clothing line.

It began in 1987 as men's prêt-à-porter and relaunched its summer collection in 2009 as “Georges Rech Homme.” It established a dedicated concept store and also offered accessories such as ties and belts, positioning the line as an extension into menswear of the sensibility Georges Rech had developed in womenswear.
