The Foundationals

On our ongoing hunt for the perfect wardrobe staples, the apparel company The Foundationals presents itself as the answer. The Foundationals embraces the slow fashion movement with its collection of high-quality wardrobe basics that come in a wide range of limited quantity batches. From basic tees to midriff flossing tops, the items from this LA-based brand are easily styled into your favourite looks as layering pieces or stand-alone items. Although it’s a brand that specialises in basics, The Foundationals is anything but boring.

Spilt Milk Eyewear 

Spilt Milk’s debut collection might have emerged during the uncertainty of the pandemic, but its current season is built upon the gift of curiosity. The sunglasses are inspired by the attributes of Greek Gods, with aviator frames like the Nude Artemis (the Goddess of the wild) rendered in pinkish hues and the Cateye frames inspired by Eros (the God of love) created in unconventional and edgy silhouettes. The brand is also steadfast in its commitment to sustainability, sourcing the finest sustainable bioplastics from Mazzucchelli 1849 that are composed of cellulose acetate.

With its exquisitely made minimalist items, the brand accommodates the needs of conscious consumers who want to shop more sustainably.

Aiisha

Aiisha Ramadan is a Lebanese fashion designer who perfectly blended her haute couture sensibilities with her penchant for modern styles when she founded her namesake fashion brand, Aiisha. With its intricate handmade details, fine embroidery, and punchy colourways, Ramadan’s collections are a display of craftsmanship and creativity. This production technique lends itself well to the slow fashion movement, which is a production philosophy that Ramadan adheres to, given that she only produces a limited amount of clothing each year.
