Taylor Hollan

Based in Newport Beach, California, Taylor Hollan is proving sustainable fashion doesn’t have to be boring. The mastermind behind the brand, Taylor Smith, collects old fabrics and second-hand, thrifted clothing to create one-of-a-kind garments that are creating plenty of noise across social media. The brand’s signatures are unique, patchwork pieces made by overlocking scraps of wool together. 

Fuchsia Shaw

Welcome to Fuchsia Shaw – an independent womenswear label by designer Amy Shaw. Making our debut in the summer of 2018, our Hackney-based label is focused on creating clothes for conscious women like you who want to shop differently and wear styles that recognise and appreciate the true art of garment design and construction. Produced in limited runs with fresh fabrics you’ll struggle to spot elsewhere. 

1xBlue

“1XBLUE is a start up clothing brand launched in February 2020 thats main focus is on recycling second hand sports memorabilia into wearable garments. The focus for 1XBLUE being on recycling old sports memorabilia gives the brand a nostalgic aesthetic which in turn creates garments that are sexy with a sporty theme and history.”

Sio Studio

Okay, Sio Studio actually sells from Depop, but the brand’s Instagram account an ode to bleach dyed denim and structured mesh tops. This year, many of us attempted to tie-dye our old jeans and let’s face it, they looked pretty s***. Luckily for us, Sio Studio is an expert. All items are handmade in London, from raw edge bandeaus to refined, structured corsets.

Fanci Club

Vietnamese designer, Duy Tran, was inspired by John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood when coming up with the brand Fanci Club. Contrasting fabrics brought together in exposed, raw edges seem to dominate, as do gothic silk co-ords. Again selling via Depop, Fanci Club keeps it cool, calm and sensual.

Oriens

Parsons School of Design student Shirley Tang is behind Oriens, the brand catching the eyes of everyone from Rico Nasty and SZA, to Kali Uchis. Tang puts no limits to the materials she works with. Skimpy, knitted bikinis and mesh patchwork twinsets are amongst some of the brand’s most experimental designs.

Maison Cleo

Mother-daughter duo, Marie and Cléo Dewet, are responsible for the French brand Maison Cleo. With Net-a-Porter collaborations and fans like Emily Ratajkowski Maison Cleo is somewhat of an overnight success. Whilst Marie runs the socials and logistical side of the business, seamstress Cléo makes each piece herself from leftover and scrap materials. 

Sinead Gorey

Emerging designer Sinead Gorey makes rave-a-roo fashions perfect for dancathons in your living rooom. Acidic hues, ring tops and psychedelic distortion are all part of the London-based designer’s lexicon. Not only that, but Gorey sources used-waterproof nylon and breathable taffeta for her ensembles. Say goodbye to dancefloor sweat patches!
