THIS MONTH DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

Each month we take a moment to introduce you to an upcoming or already successful talent.

Here is a quick review of the best collections to look out for.  Get to know this diverse array of brands before they’re all massive.

Gućas Morgan

From London, UK Gućas Morgan is a design partnership between Will Morgan and Elena Gucas, and the design duo met while studying Bespoke Tailoring at London College of Fashion. Having cut their teeth at the likes of Thom Browne and Eckhaus Latta respectively, this young brand manages to perfect conceptual tailoring with a distinctly artistic approach.

Perfect patch-working is perfect, carefully calculated color palette and meticulous hand worked treatment that sets this brand apart from the sea of young graduates out there right now.

Keine Liebe

This Berlin-based streetwear reference rife in the German collection. The recently re-ignited label’s latest drop translates the city’s anarchist past into a punk-tinged drop of casual staples.All of the logo-emblazoned threads in different graphic iterations are sublime.

NAMACHEKO

it is rare for a menswear label to experience a meteoric rise in its first few seasons. Swedish/Kurdish menswear label Namacheko is one of the lucky few; just over a year after launch, the minimalist label is stocked by 38 retailers worldwide, including Dover Street Market, Ssense and Opening Ceremony.

If your label wants to be considered for future posts then, by all means, get in touch. Meanwhile, for more amazing highlighted talent, check out the rest of our Designer Highlight series.
