YMC
YMC WAS FOUNDED IN LONDON IN 1995 BY FRASER MOSS AND JIMMY COLLINS. SINCE THEN, THE LABEL HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS ONE OF THE MOST ENDURING AND INFLUENTIAL INDEPENDENT BRANDS TO COME OUT OF THE UK.
Taking its name from a quote by the famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy; “You must create your own design style”, YMC is a call to arms; one that influences the very essence of the brand’s identity.
Initially inspired by workwear and military clothing, the duo developed the unisex brand around the notion of creating understated and timeless garments. Today, YMC continues to subvert expectations while simultaneously capturing the cultural zeitgeist. Directional yet wearable, each collection is influenced by creative director Moss’s passion for music, literature and the arts, and his enduring post-punk, DIY attitude.
Gestuz
Gestuz is a brand that has the modern woman in mind. Always creating go-to pieces that unproblematically embraces the everyday life of a woman and instilling the notion that there is no one way of being female or dressing so: it is whatever you choose.
Rooted in the effortless ease of the Scandinavian design heritage, Gestuz simultaneously rebels against it by subtly disrupting and updating the classics.
Gestuz was founded in 2008 by Sanne Sehested, who wanted to create a brand inspired by her own wardrobe and the kind of energy and feeling she believed fashion should give the wearer. She is always looking to create designs that emphasizes the strength of women. Not overshadow. Pieces that allows for interpretation from the individual allowing her to communicate what power is to her.
Kings Of Indigo

He believed that neither sustainability nor quality had to be sacrificed in order to make beautiful garments.

The brand works with a clear objective; to lead the industry to clean up and change. This forward thinking has helped shape and change the path of fashion, Kings Of Indigo always being two steps ahead of the rest. Kings Of Indigo positions itself as a pioneer in this ever-changing sustainable fashion world, innovating with materials and sustainable production methods, constantly exploring how to reduce the impact on the planet and people; using its Five Pillars of Sustainability as cornerstones.
