ACT N°1

Founded in 2016, Milan-based fashion brand ACT  N°1 draws inspiration from the multicultural heritage and childhood memories of its founder and creative director, Luca Lin. As a Chinese-Italian designer, Lin envisions fashion as a dialogue between cultures and belief systems, celebrating diversity and the multifaceted nature of human identity.
ACT  N°1 positions itself as a platform for social commentary, using fashion to amplify marginalized voices and address pressing global issues such as child marriage, gender inequality, and the deconstruction of stereotypes. The brand’s iconic ruffle jacket has become a defining symbol of this mission—a bold protest against child marriage and a visual statement of visibility for those too often unheard. Each collection reinforces the belief that fashion can be both aesthetically compelling and activist-driven.
