USA · Est. 1978 · Affordable

Only Hearts is an American lingerie label for women, founded in New York in 1978 by Helena Stuart.

The range covers bralettes, bras, undies, slips, sleepwear and loungewear, described by the brand as sensuous, natural and just a little bit naughty. Collections include So Fine, Whisper, Bed of Roses and Organic Cotton Heritage Hearts, with pieces such as the Joey Bralette, Whisper Balconette Bra and Butterfly Brief, plus silk slips and pyjamas. Everything is made in New York City in small batches to reduce waste and overproduction, using local, deadstock, organic and Made in Green-certified textiles.

GEEL featured image

GEEL

USA · Est. 2020 · Mid-range

GEEL is a minimalist American clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by Irene Geel. During the pandemic, while clearing out years of uncomfortable wear-once pieces, Geel noticed she kept only her understated, classic basics, yet struggled to find loungewear that matched her style. A former handbag designer, she bought her first roll of deadstock modal and launched a small capsule of soft tops and bodysuits. The label began with cut-and-sew knits in that same modal, which became its core collection, and has since grown into wovens, sweaters, outerwear and swimwear. The range now includes tops, bodysuits, skirts, dresses, capris, shorts and soft knitwear, all designed in Los Angeles as seasonless, elevated basics for everyday wear. GEEL works with ethical, sustainable manufacturers and produces in limited batches to minimise waste and prevent overproduction. Every piece is wear-tested during production, with the aim of creating comfortable, versatile clothes that can be worn alone or layered and still feel right a year later. GEEL has been featured by Wonderland and Hypebae, which covered its Summer campaign and capsule with Cierra O'Day, and has a following in both Los Angeles and New York.

SEROYA is an American luxury designer clothing label for women, founded in New York in 2020 by Ohad Seroya and Aviad Klin. The husbands are also the co-founders and creative directors of the womenswear label Retrofête, and Seroya conceived the new brand during the spring 2020 lockdown as a contemporary label with a social conscience and a feel-good mentality.

The collection includes dresses, tops, bodysuits, skirts, trousers, vintage-inspired denim, breathable knits, sweaters and jackets, alongside luxe silk pieces designed to be mixed and matched. Its classic silhouettes consistently blur the lines between masculine and feminine, and clothing is made in China. From the start, the label paired each drop with a charitable partner, beginning with Trans Can Work, a Los Angeles nonprofit supporting transgender employment. Its first collection used biodegradable packaging and tags made from repurposed fabric scraps. SEROYA, originally styled Ser.O.Ya, launched exclusively on FWRD in February 2021 with a campaign starring model and activist Teddy Quinlivan, and its debut was covered by WWD.

Jess Meany

USA · Est. 2019 · Mid-range

Jess Meany is an American upcycled designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by Jess Meany. Meany started the brand after a 12-year career in textile development left her dreaming about how to love the materials that already exist on the planet. Her designs present layers of loved textiles with femme feelings, inspired by the dust of the West, the keepsake heritage of America and the picnics and pastimes of spring and summer. The collection features loosely tailored, low-impact pieces such as quilt coats, cropped coats, Laguna shirts, Olivia jackets, tops and skirts. Every piece is handmade in the USA, designed and sewn in the brand's Los Angeles studio. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited, because Meany searches across the country for deadstock, vintage, obsolete and forgotten materials, from quilts and redwork embroidery to lace and organza. This upcycled, locally made approach keeps production small and sustainable. Jess Meany has been featured by Voyage LA and Sheesh Magazine, and the label is sold through Garmentory.
