About

Almeida is founded in 2011 by Portuguese designers Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, who first met at fashion school in Portugal and relocated to London in 2009 to pursue their MA at Central Saint Martins, where they combined their talents and launched the designer clothing brand. They showed their first two seasons under Lulu Kennedy's Fashion East platform, and their LVMH Prize win in 2015 propelled them to international recognition. The brand became synonymous with creative denim, being credited with helping launch the revival of distressed denim in the 2010s, though their broader vision has always been for high-end, cool, raw, and relevant ready-to-wear. Champions of community, sustainability, and inclusive casting, the brand has been worn by Beyonce, Rihanna, and a devoted global following.

The Handloom

USA · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

The Handloom is a sustainable, handmade clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2014 by Cansu Cansever. A self-taught designer who previously worked in the arts in Los Angeles, she started the label to link Turkey's traditional weaving craft with modern life in the US. The result is relaxed, slow-fashion clothing designed for everyday ease and summer. The range includes maxi and mini dresses, shirts, tops, pants, shorts, kimonos, kaftans and matching sets. Signature pieces include the Aura Low Back Maxi Dress, the Muse Braided Straps Dress, the Lucid Flow Shirt and the Kaya Drawstring Pants. Every piece is hand-loomed in Turkey by artisan partners, many in remote villages, using fabrics created exclusively for the brand from 100% Turkish cotton, organic cotton and Tencel. Hand-loomed production is the label's most important value, and it works on fair trade principles, prioritising safe, clean working conditions and a transparent answer to the question "Who made my clothes?" The Handloom remains independent and founder-led. It has no store of its own and is sold through many retailers around the world, with its main office in Los Angeles.

Metiseko

Vietnam · Est. 2011 · Mid-range

Metiseko is a sustainable Vietnamese designer clothing label for women and men, founded in Hoi An in 2011 by French couple Erwan Perzo and Florence Mussou. Taken by the local customs and landscapes of Vietnam's central coast, the founders set out to capture the essence of the country in original prints, creating a European-chic line with an East-meets-West spirit. The collection includes women's dresses, tops, jumpsuits, pants, skirts and kimono jackets, men's shirts, pants and jackets, and silk scarves, ties, bags, jewellery, cushion covers and fabric by the metre. Garments are made in Vietnam in its own sewing workshop, where one tailor creates each piece from start to finish and signs the label in pencil. As a slow fashion brand, Metiseko partners with local artisans. Its 100% mulberry silk is produced locally, supporting traditional silk making in Bao Loc, then dyed with non-toxic dyes and hand screen printed by local craftsmen. Its GOTS-certified organic cotton comes from India and is dyed and printed with a partner near Saigon using reactive dyes. Metiseko has been featured by ELLE Vietnam, Vietcetera and Oi Vietnam for its sustainable, locally made approach to fashion.

Lapointe featured image

Lapointe

United States · Est. 2015 · Luxury

is founded in 2015 by creative director Sally LaPointe and CEO Sarah Adelson, best friends who met while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design and built this designer clothing brand quite literally from the floor of their shared TriBeCa loft in their early twenties. LaPointe had a background in fine arts and graduated with a BFA in apparel design from RISD in 2006, while Adelson brought experience in production. The brand attracted the attention of Lady Gaga, who wore its black corseted dress to the International Consumer Electronics Show and has remained a loyal fan ever since. Known for bold monochromatic palettes, head-to-toe sets, and statement dressing made effortlessly easy, the brand was originally called Sally LaPointe before being rebranded to simply LaPointe in 2020 to support its evolution into a full lifestyle brand. LaPointe joined the CFDA in 2015 and received the FGI Rising Star Award that same year, and has since dressed Oprah Winfrey, Zendaya, and Beyonce.
