The LUCE trousers are distinctive, asymmetrical trousers with a wide skirt-like hem. They have practical pockets at the side seams and a press-button closure at the waist.

TAUKO’s head of design Kaisa Rissanen loves to relax by having a cup of coffee and browsing through art, architecture, and design books. She sees art as a never-ending source of inspiration: an amazing channel to express creativity and a playground for the imagination.

Fit and size:
Choose your size based on your waist circumference. Add a recommended positive ease of approximately 1.2–2"/3–5 cm. Make sure that the fullest part of your left thigh fits into the leg.

Maria González Leal is 61"/156 cm tall and wears turquoise LUCE in size 6. The length of the trousers has been adjusted. Maryna Makarenko is 65"/166 cm tall and wears black LUCE in size 3.

Fabric recommendations:
Choose light to medium-weight fabrics. You may want to experiment with pleats or other structures, as we did. LUCE works well with lots of different fabrics: cotton blends, light wool suiting, and linen, to name a few. The black sample is made from pleated jersey (65% polyester, 35% viscose, 8.8 oz/250 gsm) from Un chat sur un fil and from satin cotton (5.9 oz/200 gsm) from the design- er’s stash. The turquoise sample is made from a reused polycotton bedsheet (4.13 oz/140 gsm) from the designer’s stash.
