Kevin Grandal

Kevin Grandal serves as the Creative Director of Pangaia's Milan-based design studio, a position he assumed ahead of the brand's shift towards a more design-led, full-wardrobe proposition in 2026. Prior to this role, he established a reputation for technical precision, which he now applies to leading the brand's evolution from a materials-science collective into a comprehensive fashion house. He made his official debut at Milan Fashion Week, marking a new chapter for the company.

Grandal’s leadership is characterised by a focus on integrating high-performance bio-materials into refined, everyday silhouettes. By anchoring the brand's operations in Milan, he has sought to bridge the gap between Pangaia's scientific foundations and the rigorous standards of Italian craftsmanship. His work is essential to the brand's efforts to define a new luxury aesthetic that prioritises ecological impact alongside formal sophistication.

Design is approached through the lens of precision and restraint, reimagining the wardrobe as a collection of design-led, materially driven objects. There is a strong emphasis on adaptive design, where garments are engineered to move fluidly with the body, utilizing modular layering and intentional silhouettes. This method prioritises the functional requirements of the wearer while maintaining a high degree of formal sophistication and technical clarity.

The work often features a stripped-back aesthetic that highlights the intrinsic qualities of innovative bio-materials. Construction is handled with architectural discipline, focusing on how different textures and weights can be combined to create a sense of harmony and ease. This approach signals a move away from the purely scientific towards a more emotive and expressive form of sustainability, where the beauty of the garment is derived from its structural integrity and material honesty.
