GEEL is a minimalist American clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by Irene Geel. During the pandemic, while clearing out years of uncomfortable wear-once pieces, Geel noticed she kept only her understated, classic basics, yet struggled to find loungewear that matched her style. A former handbag designer, she bought her first roll of deadstock modal and launched a small capsule of soft tops and bodysuits. The label began with cut-and-sew knits in that same modal, which became its core collection, and has since grown into wovens, sweaters, outerwear and swimwear. The range now includes tops, bodysuits, skirts, dresses, capris, shorts and soft knitwear, all designed in Los Angeles as seasonless, elevated basics for everyday wear. GEEL works with ethical, sustainable manufacturers and produces in limited batches to minimise waste and prevent overproduction. Every piece is wear-tested during production, with the aim of creating comfortable, versatile clothes that can be worn alone or layered and still feel right a year later. GEEL has been featured by Wonderland and Hypebae, which covered its Summer campaign and capsule with Cierra O'Day, and has a following in both Los Angeles and New York.

Jess Meany is an American upcycled designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2019 by Jess Meany. Meany started the brand after a 12-year career in textile development left her dreaming about how to love the materials that already exist on the planet.

The collection features loosely tailored, low-impact pieces such as quilt coats, cropped coats, Laguna shirts, Olivia jackets, tops and skirts. Every piece is handmade in the USA, designed and sewn in the brand's Los Angeles studio. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited, because Meany searches across the country for deadstock, vintage, obsolete and forgotten materials, from quilts and redwork embroidery to lace and organza. This upcycled, locally made approach keeps production small and sustainable. Jess Meany has been featured by Voyage LA and Sheesh Magazine, and the label is sold through Garmentory.
