Luxury fight wear for those with impeccable standards
Every EMPIRE piece is a unique work of art, made in editions never to be repeated.
Collection 01
Our first collection, and the beginning of the house: three gis and three rashguard sets. A dragon, a phoenix and a tiger in a storm; a city of gold, a charging bull and an anaconda in the jungle. Those who wear them now were here at the beginning.
The artwork runs from the back of the garment to the front, and on to the sleeves and hems of a gi or the shorts of a rashguard set.
Every design is a limited edition, so the piece you choose is one that few others will ever own.
We never restock a design and never remake it, so what you own stays rare. New collections arrive when they are ready.
The Artwork
Three designs from the Founding Collection, seen as closely as they were made: the turn of a dragon’s mane, the dust at a bull’s hooves, the rings of an anaconda.
Gi
A dragon worthy of an empire.
From across the mat
A dragon in gold and lilac, coiled from the collar to the belt. It is the first thing the room will see.
Start at the eye
Jaw open, whiskers loose, the mane swept back in lilac. Every line leads back here.
Then the bloom
On the trouser leg, a lilac peony opens among gold flourishes, kept for whoever looks twice.
And at every cuff
A gold fleuron between lilac leaves finishes the sleeves, the jacket and the trousers.
Rashguard
Head down, horns forward.
At a distance
A copper bull charges down the back, crimson sweeps trailing on either side.
Meet its stare
Head lowered, horns forward, one dark eye on you. The fur turns stroke by stroke around it.
Look down
At the hooves, the ground gives way in a spray of copper dust.
On the shorts
A smaller bull at full charge, carried down to the hem.
Rashguard
Patient, then inescapable.
First glance
An anaconda over the shoulder and across the chest, its head turned forward.
Hold its gaze
A gold eye, dark rings, the tongue just showing. It is in no hurry.
Trace the rings
On the back, the body wraps from shoulder to hip, ferns winding through every turn.
Down to the shorts
A second anaconda waits on a branch among jungle leaves.
