Lotide
USA · Mid-range
Clothing Co. is a designer clothing brand founded by Lauren, a surf and fashion enthusiast who spent years working corporate jobs before tracing her passion back to two transformative experiences — the confidence she felt playing in dress-up clothes as a child and the thrill she discovered upon catching her first wave. Combining these two feelings, Lauren launched Lo Tide to bring that same sense of confident excitement to women everywhere, whether they ever set foot in the ocean or not. The brand specializes in surf-inspired womenswear designed to capture the carefree spirit of coastal living and empower women to feel bold, beautiful, and self-assured in their everyday style.
Zeynep Arçay
Turkey · Est. 2012 · Luxury
Arçay is a Turkish designer who made a dramatic career change from a long career as a top technology industry executive to launch her namesake designer clothing brand in 2016 in Istanbul. The decision was deeply personal, born from the sudden loss of her mother, who instilled in her the conviction that there might not be a tomorrow, pushing her to finally pursue her lifelong dream of fashion design. The brand is named after her maternal grandmother, a strong and creative woman from Crete Island who had never allowed her name to be passed to any grandchild until Zeynep was born. Designed in her Istanbul atelier, the collection features clean, minimalistic silhouettes rooted in tailoring through paper-thin leather, silk, and wool, and has gained a celebrity following including Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Jessica Biel, with stockists including Net-a-Porter, Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue, and The Webster.
We-Ar4
United States · Est. 2018 · Mid-range
is founded in 2021 by fashion industry veterans Anna Bakst, former CEO of Kate Spade New York and group president of Michael Kors, and Michele Rutigliano, former vice president of global merchandising at Kate Spade and Marc Jacobs. This designer clothing brand was built around a radical premise: instead of developing new materials, it rescues luxury deadstock fabrics and leathers left over from other brands and past seasons at top European mills, turning them into elevated contemporary ready-to-wear and accessories. The name reflects the founders' belief that they are "WE-AR4" things like planet responsibility and the future of fashion, and every collection is a tight capsule of bespoke pieces with small production runs that underscore its exclusivity. The brand launched direct-to-consumer in fall 2021 and quickly expanded into Bergdorf Goodman, Selfridges, Lane Crawford, and Nordstrom.
