About Duchamp

Founded in 1989, London. Today Duchamp has established a design philosophy centered on creating directional Menswear and Accessories, which epitomises accessible luxury. The name of the brand was inspired by the late artist Marcel Duchamp. He was a painter, sculptor, and avid chess player whose work is associated with Dadaism and conceptual art. Along with Picasso and Matisse, he was regarded as an artist who contributed significant advancements in painting and sculpting. Today the brand still pays homage to its inspiration by a clever use of print and colouring techniques. Almost all fabrics are exclusive, and all print has a painterly feel. Duchamp has established a design philosophy creating ‘sophisticated luxury for all occasions’.
