Solace London

Solace London is a British designer label for women, founded in London in 2013 by Laura Taylor and Ryan Holliday-Stevens. Longtime friends and collaborators, the pair bring together backgrounds in design, production, retail, marketing and creative direction. They describe their aesthetic as "Bold, confident, refined. Modern futurism balanced with timeless minimalism." The label is best known for body-sculpting dresses with graphic lines and precision cuts. The range spans maxi, midi and mini dresses, plus bridal and modest styles. Pieces are designed in London and made in China, and signature styles include The Newman Maxi Dress, The Lang Maxi Dress, The Olivia Maxi Dress, The Edison Midi Dress and The Bessette Mini Dress. Fabrication and technique drive the design process. Dresses are built from structured stretch fabrics such as knit crepe and are often fully lined to sculpt the body, aiming to blur the line between statement-making and wearability. Solace London remains independently run by its two co-founders and ships its collections to customers internationally.
