Ioana Ciolacu featured image

Ioana Ciolacu

Romania · Est. 2010 · Mid-range

Ioana Ciolacu is a Romanian designer label for women, founded in Bucharest in 2010 by designer Ioana Ciolacu. With a background in architecture, she approaches clothing through construction, proportion and movement, then lets something shift: a line runs further than expected, volume interrupts the body and structure gives way to softness. A London College of Fashion graduate, she has worked with Stella McCartney. The range includes dresses such as the Khaki Cable Dress, Dahlia Dress, Ripple Balloon Dress and Spiral Dress, blouses, corsets, crop tops, bodies, shorts and Balloon Trousers, plus the Fold Jacket. Accessories include gloves, socks, tights and bags. Each collection is developed through material experimentation and produced in Romania with a close network of local manufacturers. The label treats sustainability as a design constraint rather than a claim: fewer, considered pieces, local production, responsible materials such as deadstock fabrics, cotton, silk and linen, and garments made to last. Ciolacu won the Designer for Tomorrow award in 2013. The independent fashion house has been carried internationally by retailers including Farfetch, Moda Operandi and Zalando.

Waltz Studio

USA · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Waltz is a minimalist American designer clothing label for women, founded in San Francisco in 2014 by Danielle Colen. A native New Yorker with a background in landscape and architectural photography, Colen earned an MFA in fashion design at the Academy of Art University and worked as a patternmaker before launching her own line. Her love of strong lines and precise shapes runs through every collection, built on the belief that fashion should elevate the everyday without frills or excess. Inspired by the simplicity of menswear but cut for a woman's body, Waltz makes seasonless wardrobe staples: dresses, shirts, tops, trousers, jeans, skirts, jumpsuits, jackets and knitwear in natural fabrics such as cotton, organic cotton, linen, wool and lyocell. Patterns are cut in the San Francisco studio and garments are made in the USA. The label's ethical approach rests on domestic manufacturing, careful tailoring and long-lasting pieces designed to slip into an existing wardrobe rather than chase trends. Racked named Waltz a San Francisco womenswear brand to watch in 2016, and the label has been featured in Metal Magazine. Its collections have been stocked by West Coast boutiques including Voyager, Anaise and Anomie.

Blluemade

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. Their research into what makes good linen led them to Belgium. The gender-neutral line is inspired by vintage farming and workwear garments and historic textiles that age well over decades. 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. The name explains the approach: "blue" for the founders' love of indigo, vintage denim and blue-dyed textiles, "made" for a commitment to ethical production, and the extra "L" for linen. Its Belgian linen is certified Masters of Linen, produced entirely in Europe from field to fabric, and meets OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Blluemade has been featured by Gear Patrol, and its founders have publicly campaigned to protect the zoning that keeps garment factories in Manhattan's Garment District.
