New Brands to Know Refresh your look with these new-on-the-scene brands
Just in time for the New Year, Lane Crawford has carefully edited the top new brands on our radar right now. Picking a favourite is near impossible.
ANNA QUAN
With a signature in shirting, Aussie designer Anna Quan’s eponymous label is filled with sharp separates perfect for everyday dressing. Expect exposed stitching, oversized cuffs, wide leg pants and a peppering of unexpected details, such as D-ring buckles. We say yes to everything.
Why do we love it?
This is a designer who knows how to execute tailored pieces with military precision.
Kule
Following stints as a children’s clothier and Brooks Brothers designer, Nikki Kule launched her own brand that encompasses a pretty luxe aesthetic that’s focused on humble, classic and always in-style stripes - the staple she previously failed to find done right.
Why do we love it?
A brand that focuses on doing one thing, really (really) well.
Miaou
With a cool girl-credibility confirmed by celebrity fans Bella, Kendall, Gigi and Selena, this New York-based brand is one to be seen in. Their pants are particularly hot-ticket items, partially thanks to an interchangeable belt allowing the wearing to mix-and-match depending on their outfit.
Why do we love it?
Cool girl credibility backed by wearability and a great fit.
STAUD
Launched by former Reformation Fashion Director, Sarah Staudinger, and her partner George Augusto, STAUD perfectly balances a quirky vintage sensibility with a timeless sophistication. Gaining fashionable fans in Alexa Chung and Leandra Medine, this L.A. brand is tipped as one to watch.
Why do we love it?
An inimitable collection of vintage-inspired pieces that feel so now.
