Marking Distance

Marking Distance is a New York-based clothing brand founded by actors and models Luka Sabbat and James Pierce, and all items are produced in Italy. Surrounded by the fashion industry since childhood, the two have established a brand identity that pays homage to traditional fashion houses while incorporating elements of unique American culture through sophisticated tailoring and high-quality products. The worldview that strongly reflects the aesthetics of the subcultures they were influenced by can be said to be the very embodiment of who they are.

The debut collection "Collection 1" emphasizes the importance of personal storytelling, focusing on themes such as "face" and "space" against the backdrop of Luka and James's upbringing and lifestyle. By fusing seemingly disparate subcultures such as crust punk, S&M, and industrial, we reinterpret items that have been commonly worn in different cultural areas, such as engineer boots. Furthermore, by using unique wash processes, textured materials, and heavy-weight leather, we pursue designs that evoke past activities and spaces through tactility. The collection aims to share their experiences through clothing and is a clear expression of the brand's vision.
