PAOLINA RUSSO
Canadian Paolina Russo and French Lucile Guilmard are the founders of London-based brand Paolina Russo. Their work combines futurism and nostalgia by reimagining traditional crafts such as knitwear, tie-dye, and macrame with modern technology for contemporary womenswear and streetwear. Their garments act as uniforms for shared memories. They carry stories that foster belonging, making wearers feel part of a larger team grounded in shared experiences.
FREYA DALSJO
Freya Dalsjø is a Copenhagen based fashion label designed by Freya Dalsjø, Karis Dalsjø and Mikkel Schou. The brand specialises in developing intricate craftsmanship, rooted in a respectful practice. Freya Dalsjø works solely with natural materials of the highest quality, such as wool, cashmere, silk, leather, and silver.
MASCULINA
Masculina, founded by Alectra Rothschild, is a humanwear label at the intersection of craftsmanship, performance, identity-driven design, and counterculture. When speaking about counterculture, they focus on the transgender and femme experience and charge everything they do with proposing an alternative to the status quo. They believe that what and who gets to represent femininity is very shallow and orthodox. For Masculina, it’s important to highlight that there are a lot more people behind these terms than previously allowed. The name Masculina comes from mixing feminina & masculino and making the anarchist A at the end to represent the idea of not having to conform to previous definitions of the gender stereotypes, also using high glamour as defiance.
HENRIK VIBSKOV
Henrik Vibskov is a multidisciplinary brand known for its enticing universes, advanced silhouettes and crossover into other artforms. Henrik Vibskov is a renowned and award-winning Danish fashion designer, artist, curator and musician. Although commonly associated with fashion and the twisted yet tantalising universes created around each collection, Henrik’s creative practice covers multiple platforms. Working in the intersection between art and design, his work ranges from fashion collections to installation, performances and exhibitions, always exploring creativity without limits and adapting the design approach to the changing contexts.
COLLINA STRADA
The International Guest Slot
Collina Strada is a New York–based fashion label founded by Hillary Taymour in 2008. Known for its vibrant, expressive designs and commitment to sustainability, the brand operates at the intersection of fashion, activism, and self-expression. Through the use of upcycled materials, local production, and inclusive storytelling, Collina Strada has established itself as a leading voice in a new generation of conscious, independent fashion.
