Kente Gentlemen is an Ivorian designer label for men and women, founded in Abidjan in 2017 by Aristide Loua, its creative director.

The independent label made its Lagos Fashion Week debut in 2023, moving further into womenswear, and has been covered by Vogue and OkayAfrica. It runs a showroom in Abidjan.

USA · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Blluemade is a minimalist American designer clothing label for men and women, founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Alex Robins and Lilly Lampe and now based in New York. An academic and an arts writer, the couple had no plans to start a fashion brand until linen dresses they designed for travel drew questions from friends.

It includes linen caps and bucket hats, tees, Italian nylon shorts and seasonal linen garments released in small editions. Everything is made in the USA, in New York City's Garment District.
