RITA ROW
Active yet stylish women inspire Spanish designers Imma Serra and Xenia Semis. Together, they founded womenswear label Rita Row in 2013. Who is Rita, you might ask? She’s their muse and brainchild—Rita embodies the feminine yet decisively minimal aesthetic that characterizes their collectsions. Rita Row carries you through the day, leaving you feeling comfortable and nonchalantly sophisticated. No need to sacrifice style or comfort—a strong assortment of cozy, sleek knitwear finds its match in practical garments like parka coats and blue denim.
SOEUR
The quintessential Parisian brand for soft tailoring and outdoorsy nostalgia? Soeur. The label boasts modern wardrobe staples with a 1970s touch designed for women of all ages. Founded by sisters Domitille and Angélique Brion in 2008, the French ready-to-wear label proposes a liberated and chic approach to dressing. For timeless, renovated classics, look no further.
DUNST
The Korean collectsive Dunst is more than a fashion brand—it is a design studio where young artists in their 20s and 30s collaborate in fields ranging from architecture to photography AND to fashion. For their ready-to-wear label, the focus is on genderless, discrete, and luxurious design. Dunst draws inspiration from city life, tuning into an ever-evolving need for garments that harmonize with contemporary culture.
DONNI.
Founded in 2009 by Alyssa Wasko, Los Angeles-based womenswear label Donni. commemorates the memory of Wasko’s late father, Donald. To cope with her loss, Wasko started to create comfortable, comforting scarves to wear. Soon, her friends began asking for their own, and before long Wasko was receiving orders from around the country. Today, Donni. presents complete collectsions that continue to honor the core design principle of comfort. Cozy, easy knits and shirting to live in.
ARTHUR APPAREL
Clean lines meet ’60s surf nostalgia. The aesthetic vision of Australian-based label, Arthur Apparel feels familiar yet fresh with an eclectic selection of styles, from tailored trousers to rainbow jackets. A slow-fashion brand, Arthur partners with artisans in Indonesia to create unique handmade garments produced in small batches in support of a sustainable approach to the supply chain.
