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.

Maria La Rosa is an Italian luxury handmade accessories label, founded in Milan in 1993 by designer Maria La Rosa.

Switzerland · Est. 2015 · Affordable

ownbrown is a European lingerie label for women of colour, founded in Bellmund near Biel, Switzerland in 2015 by Nadine Ndjoko Peisker. A lawyer who has worked for the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Ndjoko Peisker started the brand out of frustration: as one of the few Black female lawyers in Switzerland, she could not find skin-coloured tights to wear to court or nude lingerie for under professional dresses and white shirts. ownbrown is built on the belief that freedom and confidence are gifts everyone deserves. The range includes bras, high-waisted briefs, thongs, tights and knee-high hosiery in a choice of nude shades tone-matched to brown skin, rather than treating beige as a universal nude. Pieces are made in Italy and designed to be comfortable and easy to wear. The black-owned, women-owned brand focuses on high-quality basics that let women dress confidently for work and every day, celebrating "your own brown" from London to Lagos. ownbrown has been featured in the Lingerie Journal and The New Black Magazine, and in 2019 its founder collaborated with Sephora.

THE SEI is an American luxury designer clothing label for women, founded in Los Angeles in 2020 by a team of four women who met while designing together at Michelle Mason.

Their aim is a foundation of polished classics mixed with seductive silhouettes, designed by women for women of all generations and lifestyles. The collection includes gowns, dresses, tops, trousers, skirts, blazers, jackets, silk sets and knitwear. The designs play the masculine restraint of structured tailoring against the feminine sensuality of draped, body-skimming styles, and pieces are made in China. The label works with materials such as silk, merino wool, cashmere and viscose, aiming for pieces that feel effortless and timeless rather than seasonal. THE SEI is sold by major retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue, FWRD, Revolve, Mytheresa, Ounass and Harvey Nichols Doha, as well as specialty boutiques across the US and abroad.

SEEKER

USA · Est. 2016 · Mid-range

SEEKER is a gender-neutral, organic American clothing label, founded in Los Angeles in 2016 by designer Ally Ferguson.

The brand is rooted in natural and organic beauty, with handmade production and local craftsmanship playing a central role in how its identity has developed.
