Em & May

Canada · Est. 2019 · Affordable

Em & May is a Canadian designer lingerie and swimwear label for women, founded in Montreal in 2019 by Emilie Pittman. Emilie started the brand while still in fashion school, after a photo of a red bikini she had made led friends to ask for their own, and the name pairs hers with that of her French bulldog, May.

The collection has grown from swimwear into lingerie, pyjamas and ready-to-wear, with ruffled, bow-trimmed bralettes such as the Plume, Opal and Solenne, matching undies and thongs, bikinis, slip dresses and tops. Every piece is handmade in Canada, in the brand's Mile End studio in Montreal, mostly to order. The made-to-order model means pieces are created only as they are needed. Fabrics are deadstock, organic and recycled, with Canadian-made eco-certified natural fibres, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabrics and elastics, and ECONYL regenerated nylon for swimwear, while packaging is 100% recycled.

USA · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

The Series NY is a gender-neutral, upcycled American designer clothing label, founded in New York in 2016 by Ella Wiznia. Wiznia started the brand while recovering from an eating disorder, wanting to make clothing that felt different from the unrealistic bodies she saw in fashion advertising. Learning about the industry's environmental impact, she committed to working only with secondhand and sustainable materials, and the label champions clothing without gender, for all bodies. The Series makes one-of-a-kind jackets, quilted chore jackets, shirts, shorts, jeans, pinafores and accessories from vintage quilts, crochet blankets, embroidery, antique and deadstock textiles. Every piece is made from start to finish in New York by its small in-studio team or skilled local artisans.

Apart from some crochet made with organic fibres, garments use only pre-existing materials, and its makers set their own rates to earn a living wage. The Series has been featured in Lampoon Magazine, appeared in Vogue's street style coverage of New York Fashion Week and held a residency at Burke Mercantile.
