DAWN x DARE

Denmark · Est. 2016 · Luxury

DAWN x DARE is a sustainable European designer knitwear label for women, founded in Copenhagen in 2016 by Charlotte Vadum and Vibeke Bernhoft. The pair, who had run the commercial fashion brand Project AJ117 together since 2005, wanted to create something more timeless and exclusive. The name reflects styles to wear in the morning, Dawn, and when going out at night, Dare. The label brings hand knitting into a modern universe with pullovers, cardigans, short-sleeve knits, tops, dresses and skirts in bold colours and textures, plus woven shirts, pants and scarves. Its knits are made in Italy by a community of women who knit and crochet by hand from their homes in the hills of Tuscany. DAWN x DARE uses certified, traceable Italian yarns such as mohair, kid mohair and GOTS-certified organic cotton, with animal fibres sourced under the Responsible Animal Fiber Standard. Since 2020 it has made a numbered limited-edition capsule from deadstock yarns, with each one-of-a-kind piece taking two to three days to knit. The brand has shown at the Revolver fair in Copenhagen since its launch and is stocked in high-end multibrand boutiques and showrooms across Europe and Australia.

The prints draw on dream states, surrealism and architecture, referencing de Chirico's arches, Dora Maar's light play, Magritte's skies, Schiaparelli's trompe l'oeil and Matisse's cutouts. Many designs are digitally printed on vegan TENCEL Luxe, a lyocell from renewable wood, and the brand works with audited factories that pay fair wages for fair hours.

USA · Est. 2020 · Luxury

THE SEI is an American luxury designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by a team of four women who met while designing together at Michelle Mason. When the pandemic left them at a crossroads, they chose to stay together and build their own fully women- and minority-owned brand, with each founder bringing a different role. Their aim is a foundation of polished classics mixed with seductive silhouettes, designed by women for women of all generations and lifestyles. The collection includes gowns, dresses, tops, trousers, skirts, blazers, jackets, silk sets and knitwear. The designs play the masculine restraint of structured tailoring against the feminine sensuality of draped, body-skimming styles, and pieces are made in China. The label works with materials such as silk, merino wool, cashmere and viscose, aiming for pieces that feel effortless and timeless rather than seasonal. THE SEI is sold by major retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, FWRD, Revolve, Mytheresa, Ounass and Harvey Nichols Doha, as well as specialty boutiques across the US and abroad.
