Stouls

France · Est. 2004 · Luxury

Stouls is a European luxury leather clothing label for women, founded in Paris in 2004 by designer Aurélia Stouls. A graduate of Studio Berçot, where her final collection won the Charles Jourdan prize, Stouls spent twelve years in leading shoe houses including Stéphane Kélian, Carel and Thierry Mugler, where her love of leather grew. She began her own brand with a single idea, reinterpreting the indispensable T-shirt in leather. Today the Stouls wardrobe spans leather T-shirts such as Le Stouls 05 and Le Gigi, leggings like Le Jo, trousers such as the barrel-leg Le Bugsy and wide-leg Le Lilou, skirts, dresses, blazers, bombers and coats, plus leather bags and boots. Collections are made in Portugal, in a workshop set up by a high-end French manufacturer. Its signature is a supple, machine-washable stretch lambskin from French and Spanish farms, tanned in France, bonded to stretch cotton and lined in silk, so pieces move like a second skin. Each season brings a new colour palette. The brand's Paris boutique in the 8th arrondissement was designed by India Mahdavi, and Stouls is sold in more than a hundred stores worldwide, including Le Bon Marché and Mytheresa.

ODIVI

Czech Republic · Est. 2010 · Mid-range

ODIVI is a Czech sustainable designer label and multidisciplinary creative studio, founded in Prague in 2010 by Iva Burkertová. What began as a fashion brand has grown into a space where clothing, objects, spaces and experiences meet.

The range includes dresses such as the Dark Night Foam Dress and Crease-Effect Long Dress, tops, hoodies like the Explorer Hoodie, pants such as the Oversized Japandi Balloon Pants, skirts, coats, vests and jackets like the No Waste Jacket, plus bags and design objects such as its Coat chair. Clothing is made in Czechia, in Prague, Hradec Králové and Brno, using wool, cashmere, recycled polyester and deadstock fabrics. In 2019 ODIVI sent fifteen nude models down the runway to present its idea of a 100% sustainable collection, and a year later staged a march of 50 people in garments made from 200 upcycled jackets. At Designblok 2022 the studio presented installations built entirely from discarded objects. ODIVI remains independent and founder-led, and also designs spaces and tailor-made journeys.

Garments are made in Europe from natural fibres, mainly in Portugal, with others made in Italy and Romania, and are offered in custom sizing.

Howlin’ Knitwear

Belgium · Est. 2009 · Mid-range

Howlin' is a Belgian knitwear label for men and women, founded in Antwerp in 2009 by brothers Jan and Patrick Olyslager. The family's roots in knitwear go back to 1981, when their parents began producing traditional Scottish knitwear under the Morrison label, and Howlin', Scottish slang for smelly, gave the brothers the freedom to build something of their own while staying true to that craft. The brand sums up its approach as good yarns, strange ideas, timeless craftsmanship and a little cosmic twist. It makes playful, traditionally crafted sweaters, cardigans and knit accessories, such as the Birth Of The Cool sweater, Shaggy Bear cardigans, the Brain Freezer Hat and Bandana Lover scarves. The range also includes the Cosmic Pants, the Coach Your Jacket, T-shirts and bags like the Astro Bag. Collections are made by specialist manufacturers in Scotland, Ireland and Belgium. In Scotland, Howlin' aims to bring a fresh, slightly twisted approach to traditional knitwear, combining time-honoured techniques with new colours, patterns and ideas, using natural yarns from local Scottish mills, and each garment is individually handled.

The brand also uses deadstock fabric from factories and turns every leftover scrap into small accessories or patchwork, aiming for zero waste.

Series 06 reworked late-1990s and early-2000s football kits into corsets, joggers and padded hoodies as a tribute to the sport's working-class roots. Inspired by Duchamp's readymades, the designers want each garment's origin to stay visible. Their Proto Packs offer manuals and sewing patterns so anyone can recreate Second Life styles at home, such as turning two old sweatpants into a hoodie.
