About

Slate Wearables is an ethical, minimalist designer clothing label for women, founded in Vancouver in 2020 by designer Shelby Wick. The brand began as Wick's capstone project at Ryerson University in Toronto, inspired by the relaxed linen styles she encountered while studying in Australia. After showing early designs at Vancouver's Little Black Dress Gala in 2018 and 2019, she launched Slate in August 2020 with a small summer line. The collection centres on timeless linen dresses, trousers, shorts, button-up shirts, tops and matching sets with simple, versatile silhouettes. Everything is made in Vancouver, Canada, in small batches with a local manufacturer, a decision Wick made at the start of the pandemic to support local artisans and businesses. Slate chooses natural fabrics for their texture and lower impact. Linen, made from flax that needs little water or pesticide to grow, is breathable, durable and softens with every wear and wash. Orders ship with low-emission methods in biodegradable or recycled paper packaging. Slate Wearables describes itself as a local, women-run business, with a mission to change the way people buy clothes by favouring considered, long-lasting pieces over fast fashion.

HEVRON

USA · Est. 2022 · Mid-range

HEVRON is a minimalist luxury designer clothing label for women, founded in North Miami in 2022 by Melanie Wasilewski. A former buyer, Wasilewski created HEVRON from a desire for approachable luxury with extraordinary touches, designing modern essentials with a nod to classic femininity. Rooted in clean lines, thoughtful simplicity and subtle detail, the brand explores the beauty of ease: getting dressed without effort, yet never without intention. The collection includes tops, shirts, trousers, shorts, skirts, dresses, jackets, cardigans and polos, with a quiet devotion to sets and modular dressing. Matching pieces are cut from the same fabric and tone, so styles can be worn together or apart, from the Lucia denim jacket to the pleated Mireya wool trousers and the Drexel poplin shirt. Each season builds on a growing foundation of refined fabrications, confident silhouettes and timeless forms, using materials such as cotton twill, cotton poplin, premium denim, wool suiting, linen and silk. Classic silhouettes are subtly reimagined through considered details like gold hardware, contrast topstitching and pleated sleeves. HEVRON's everyday luxury essentials are sold through its own online store and are also stocked by Shopbop.

HiSO

Canada · Est. 1975 · Luxury

HiSO is a Canadian luxury outerwear label, founded in Toronto in 1975 as Hide Society and led by twin brothers Karl Matar and Mark Matar. A second-generation family company, HiSO was reimagined under the brothers' leadership with a name that values innovation while paying homage to its heritage. Guided by the belief that a coat should embody fashion as much as function, the brand set out to revive the classic shearling coat and redefine outerwear. The collection covers women's and men's coats and jackets, including shearling jackets, moto and bomber jackets, reversible shearling coats, teddies and wool, cashmere, alpaca and Loro Piana wool coats. As a vertical company, HiSO controls every step in house, from sourcing and design to hand-pattern cutting and production, with its headquarters in Toronto, offices in Berlin and a production facility in Europe. Its shearling is double-faced lambskin, a reclaimed by-product of the food industry, sourced from audited European tanneries that follow international traceability standards. HiSO has been featured by Harper's Bazaar, Elle Canada, FASHION Magazine, The Globe and Mail and Who What Wear, and Katie Holmes has been photographed wearing an oversized HiSO shearling coat.

Em & May

Canada · Est. 2019 · Affordable

Em & May is a Canadian designer lingerie and swimwear label for women, founded in Montreal in 2019 by Emilie Pittman. Emilie started the brand while still in fashion school, after a photo of a red bikini she had made led friends to ask for their own, and the name pairs hers with that of her French bulldog, May. Finding standard sizing was not enough, she created her own size chart, starting with 15 top sizes based on real measurements and now 27. The collection has grown from swimwear into lingerie, pyjamas and ready-to-wear, with ruffled, bow-trimmed bralettes such as the Plume, Opal and Solenne, matching undies and thongs, bikinis, slip dresses and tops. Every piece is handmade in Canada, in the brand's Mile End studio in Montreal, mostly to order. The made-to-order model means pieces are created only as they are needed. Fabrics are deadstock, organic and recycled, with Canadian-made eco-certified natural fibres, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabrics and elastics, and ECONYL regenerated nylon for swimwear, while packaging is 100% recycled. Em & May offers custom sizing at no extra cost, ships worldwide and welcomes customers to its Mile End studio by appointment.
