Founded by Canadian style blogger and all around cool girl Alyssa Lau, New Classics Studios is vocal about their commitment to quality, social responsibility and environmental awareness. Based in Edmonton, they curate the best sustainable and fair trade labels from around the world (Suzanne Rae, Kowtow, Kaarem, RAFA, VEJA to name a few) to prove that you don’t have to give up aesthetics for ethics.

This LA designer basically had us at hello. Before she became a designer, Shaina Mote worked in many different roles within the fashion industry, from vintage buyer and pattern maker to creative director. Today she is the ultimate when it comes to versatile and timeless staples that are wearable yet undeniably modern. The functionality of minimalist, sleek design is combined with unusual accents and unexpected quirks that bring each collection to life. Natural, sustainable fabrics such as tencel, rayon, modal, wool and cotton are used to craft each piece. All Shaina Mote pieces are designed and made in Los Angeles.
