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.

Feminine, not feminist, is usually the way fashion is described. But for Brooklyn-based emerging designer Suzanne Rae, the two are inextricably linked. Designing for the progressive, modern woman, her minimalist and sophisticated pieces are the strong and delicate all at the same time.
