TOVE

For co-founders, Camille Perry and Holly Wright “details are not employed superfluously.” Their vision was simple and effective; to create collections that build on one another seamlessly with items you could feel comfortable in lounging on a beach barefoot to wearing to the wedding of the season. Think the sort of understated elegance encapsulated by laid back L.A. natives to beachside Barcelonians. Chances are you’ve already saved their best-selling Ceres dress from your feed.

HAYLEY MENZIES

The London College of Fashion graduate, Hayley Menzie honed her signature style more through London’s wild rave scene and yoga training in Thailand with a combination of comfy yet bohemian knitwear and dresses.

ULLA JOHNSON

Well-travelled from a young age as the daughter of archaeologists, it’s easy to see the influence of Ulla Johnsons upbringing in her creative designs and detailed constructions, that have become her hallmarks since she founded her eponymous line in 1998. Form-fitting frill and hand-patterned fabrics are some of the eye-catching details in her spring-summer collection.

LA COLLECTION

We know what you’re thinking but this brand actually reigns from the fashion-forward city of Antwerp, getting its name instead from a modern take on Californian-cool with a clean-lined Scandi twist. Think trans-seasonal pieces made in thick Italian wools and heavyweight silks.

SLEEPER

It all started when Kate Zubarieva had a dream she was standing in the middle of a pyjamas factory and immediately rang Asya Varetsa when she woke up with the proposition of creating nightwear that looks just as good in the daylight. Think feather lined or linen frilled pyjamas and smocked off-the-shoulder nightdresses that are made to party in.
