Our Story

LimoLand is the brainchild of its European founder, Jean “Johnny” Pigozzi. Frustrated that he couldn’t find clothing that matched his colorful and casual aesthetic, Johnny created LimoLand in 2007. As founder and creative director, Johnny is the heart and soul of the brand, which represents the culmination of his many years collecting and creating art, working with colors and prints, and travelling the world. Luxurious and free-spirited, splashed with quirky patterns and bright colors, LimoLand is a lifestyle brand for individuals who, like Johnny, “LIVE TO CREATE”.


Johnny was born in Paris and currently spends his time between Switzerland, Panama, France, England, and the United States. A man of many pursuits, he is a venture capitalist, philanthropist, photographer and art collector - he has assembled the world’s largest collection of Contemporary African Art, and more recently has been collecting Contemporary Japanese Art. He has exhibited his photography at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin, the Gagosian Gallery in New York, and at the Arles Photography Show in France. In 2004, Johnny founded the Liquid Jungle Lab, a state-of-the-art research facility in Panama devoted to environmental conservation.


LimoLand's exceptional clothing and accessories have been sold in some of the top stores around the world, including Colette in Paris, Dover Street Market in London, 10 Corso Como in Milan and Land of Tomorrow in Tokyo. The brand has been featured in such influential fashion magazines as Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, T: The New York Times Magazine, and The International Herald Tribune.


LimoLand opened its first Flagship store in New York’s Meatpacking district, as well as a full service eCommerce website, in July 2010 with a full collection of vibrant, sophisticated menswear and accessories.


The brand’s logo and namesake, Mr. Limo, is based on work of the late Tanzanian artist George Lilanga.
