so many brands mentioned in this post speak to me! i love Sacai and often hunt for it on resale and Cawley is more of a recent discovery (i also decided to improve my hat game) that hurts because of the import taxes from UK to the EU. but i want all those hats so badly!!
Cawley's AW25 collection, from what I saw on their Instagram, left me floored! I'm wanting almost everything, even the pom-pom hats that make me look like an egghead 😭
I’m curious about your thoughts on Auralee’s rapid rise. Do you think their approach to fabric innovation is setting a new standard for contemporary brands, or is it a niche appeal?
I'd say we're already seeing this today, and we're seeing this with brands that I've mentioned before like Unkruid and Rier. It also helps having more publications and independent writers/creators speak more freely on sustainability in fashion, the Shein/Temu effect, overconsumption, etc.
I've actually had a few designers, both local and global, talk about how they're putting in work to find textiles and materials that will extend the shelf life of their garments, but also reduce any additional waste by producing higher quality garments.
Hopefully this will remain the new standard, but let's check back in 3ish years.
