Designer Selects | Vol. 29
RUS
Founded in Galicia, Spain by sisters Pati and Inés, RUS creates tactile, timeless knitwear for the modern nonconformist. Each piece, like the Grotta Jacket in black or the Shikai Polo Sweater in butter and espresso, balances form and feeling, inviting you to dress with intention. Crafted in family-run factories across Portugal, Spain, and Italy using sustainable yarns, RUS embodies a slow, thoughtful rhythm that honors craftsmanship and individuality.
CARO CHIA
Malaysian designer Caro Chia explores the dialogue between art and fashion through sculptural forms and poetic restraint. Each garment, like the Aphora Sheer Top or the Hans Skirt, blurs the line between construction and expression, creating fluid compositions that move with the body. Her subtle palettes and experimental shapes evoke a quiet sophistication rooted in curiosity and craftsmanship. Caro Chia’s work invites you to wear art not as adornment, but as exploration.
DIARTE
Based in Madrid, Diarte has championed thoughtful, enduring knitwear since 2010. Founder Ana Diarte blends craftsmanship with architectural precision, using high-end Italian yarns to create versatile staples like the Dixi Full Skirt and Small Triangular Scarf. Each piece reflects the brand’s belief in quiet luxury, with designs that evolve with you rather than against time. Diarte’s collections are made for those who live with ease, intention, and subtle strength.
EASTON MARLEY
Los Angeles stylists Kendall Marsh and Kylie Mason channel their grandmothers’ effortless grace into Easton Marley, a label born from nostalgia and modern polish. Their sunglasses, like The Ryders or The Lee, reinterpret vintage silhouettes through a contemporary lens. Each pair carries the quiet glamour of a bygone era, designed for women who lead with confidence and understatement.
DRIES VAN NOTEN
A benchmark in intellectual elegance, the house of Dries Van Noten has entered a new chapter while remaining true to its roots. Rooted in Antwerp craftsmanship, it continues to thrive through fearless color, refined prints, and understated luxury. As the brand steps confidently into its moment, its garments feel both deeply personal and timeless.
