New York–born designer Conner Ives gives contemporary form to nostalgia with his eponymous line of sultry and colourful womenswear.

Having worked for Rihanna before he graduated from Central Saint Martins, Ives designs with the distinct confidence of a young visionary. Channelling memories of the icons who have inspired him, Ives fashions his eclectic vision of Americana using an elaborate combination of textiles from sustainably sourced, upcycled garments and deadstock materials. Fringed scarf dresses and bohemian tops are embroidered with vintage florals, repurposed collegiate T-shirts are decorated with distressed bows, and fleece pullovers feature prints of gradient sunsets.

With a playful approach to design, Conner Ives condenses the history of American fashion into a collection of uniquely charming womenswear.

ESSE is a contemporary, ready-to-wear lifestyle brand for the woman who takes a considered approach to her style. Our sentiment: be mindful, be sustainable and consume consciously. Invest in less, and make sure it's right.

ESSE delivers slow-release editions. Each Edition is designed to be worn with the last, slowly curating the pieces that work for you.

Charlotte Hicks, the Founder and Creative Director of the brand has over 10 years of experience designing for leading global fashion brands.

ESSE was born out of frustration with the sheer excess and waste that is evident in the fashion industry. She wants to encourage and nurture a slower more sustainable message; a return to the ESSEnce of dressing, the craft and quality.

Founded in 2018, Louisa Ballou offers an unconventional perspective on resortwear, creating beautifully crafted and covetable luxury clothing that transcends the beach.

Informed by the designer’s coastal upbringing in Charleston, South Carolina, Louisa Ballou references the transformative power of nature, art, design and literature to realise vibrant styles that inspire the wearer to feel their most sensuous, strong, confident, and free.

Nodaleto is a mix of ‘70s flair and the lively moods of its two city hubs, Paris and Los Angeles. Expect vibrant colourways, vintage-inspired silhouettes and – thanks to traditional Italian craftsmanship – luxurious fabrications and finishes.

Nodaleto is the brainchild of Olivier Leone Didi and designer Julia Toledano, whose nickname is the brand’s namesake. The label launched in February 2019 but, given its defined aesthetic and roster of style-savvy fans, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s been on the fashion scene for longer.
