House of Dagmar Clothing: Stockholm Knitwear, Shirting, Dresses

Three sisters, Karin Söderlind, Kristina Tjäder and Sofia Wallenstam, founded House of Dagmar in Stockholm in 2005, naming it after their grandmother, a tailor whose craftsmanship shaped their sense of quality. The label built its name on knitwear and clean tailoring that pairs Scandinavian minimalism with a genuine trend instinct, an early adopter of sustainability within Swedish fashion.

Stephanie Windsor Jewelry

Stephanie Windsor, born Stephanie Levy in Montreal, moved to Manhattan in 1987 and got her start working for Norma Kamali at the height of Kamali's 1980s run before later co-chairing design marketing at Parsons. She went on to run her own accessories showroom and was tapped to exclusively curate Barneys New York's antique and vintage fine jewelry and pre-owned watches, a role that shaped the eye behind her own label spanning Georgian through Art Deco periods.

Renato Cipullo Jewelry

Renato Cipullo was born in Naples and grew up in Rome in a family of jewelers, later opening a boutique on Ischia in 1967 before settling in New York, where his brother Aldo designed Cartier's Love bracelet. He launched his own jewelry collection in 1974, drawing on years spent by the sea for motifs in shell, coral and gold that still recur in his work.

KATKIM Jewelry

Katherine Kim launched KATKIM in New York in the fall of 2015 after training in graphic design in Pasadena and then jewelry at Central Saint Martins in London and the Fashion Institute of Technology. The brand is built around a single idea she developed at her kitchen table, the Ear Pin, a slim gold spear that threads through the piercing and locks behind the ear, since multiplied into diamond-paved and petite versions.

Ulla Johnson Dresses

Ulla Johnson grew up in Manhattan as the daughter of two archaeologists and launched her eponymous label in New York at the end of the 1990s, right after studying psychology and women's studies rather than fashion at the University of Michigan. Barneys New York bought her collection in 2000, and the label has since built its identity on natural fibers and craft techniques developed with artisan communities in countries including Peru, India and Kenya.

Flore Flore

Flòrian van Zuilen launched Flore Flore out of Amsterdam in the summer of 2021, after years working in fashion roles that took her from New York to Copenhagen. The label exists to solve one specific problem, the cotton basic that actually fits, and its team reportedly ran more than eighty fittings over about eight months just to finalize the proportions of its original T-shirt styles.

Comme Si

Jenni Lee started Comme Si in New York in 2019 after leaving her marketing job at the shaving startup Harry's, unable to find a sock she considered both beautiful and responsibly made. The label is built on that one overlooked category: Italian-milled cotton, merino, cashmere and silk socks finished with a loop tab that regular wearers learned to spot on each other, a foundation the brand has since built out into all of the categories

Ben-Amun

Isaac Manevitz, an Egyptian-born designer who had worked for costume houses like Trifari, started Ben-Amun in New York in 1980, naming it for his eldest son and the pharaoh Tutankhamun. The brand never pretended to be fine jewelry: it built its name on hand-finished pieces in electroplated gold, Czech glass and Majorca pearls, made to photograph and move like the real thing, which is exactly what got a Ben-Amun cuff onto Jackie Kennedy Onassis's wrist in 1989.

Moritz Glik Jewelry

Moritz Glik founded his eponymous jewelry line in New York in 2003, after leaving a shoe company he ran in his native Belo Horizonte, Brazil and teaching himself jewelry-making once he arrived in the city in 1991. His signature invention, the Kaleidoscope Shaker, encases loose, uncut gemstones inside capsules of white sapphire crystal and gold so the stones move freely

Monique Lhuillier Dresses

Monique Lhuillier launched her eponymous label in Los Angeles in 1996 after struggling to find a wedding gown she liked for her own wedding and deciding to design it herself, with her husband Tom Bugbee joining. What started as five bridal dresses at a single trade show grew into an iconic brand all built around a soft, romantic femininity.

Dries Van Noten Shoes

Dries Van Noten launched his first menswear collection in 1986 in Antwerp, showing it in London with five classmates from the Royal Academy who became known as the Antwerp Six. What set him apart from the group was a refusal to chase a single signature look, instead building a reputation on pattern mixing, botanical prints and a stubborn independence from the usual industry calendar.

St. Agni: The Byron Bay Label by Lara and Matt Fells

Lara and Matt Fells, a married couple with retail backgrounds rather than design degrees, started their label in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2014 with a maxed-out credit card and a handful of leather tote bags. The brand found its signature in woven mules introduced around its third year, pieces that reportedly sold out on repeat, before it grew into a full ready-to-wear range still designed and headquartered in that same coastal town.

Cinq à Sept Turns Ten, and Goes Out After Dark

Cinq à Sept is marking ten years with a capsule that borrows its mood from the 1970s, all crystal trims, romantic lace and high shine. It lands just as going-out clothes have become a category of their own again, and the brand's whole premise has always been the outfit that gets you from work to night.

ROTATE Dresses and Tops

ROTATE was founded in Copenhagen in 2018 by Jeanette Friis Madsen and Thora Valdimars, two former colleagues at Costume magazine who wanted party dresses that felt shorter and sexier than what was around. Their first drop was seven dresses, and the label has since added loungewear, bridal and a Copenhagen Fashion Week runway.
