@act_n1
Founded in 2016, Act N°1 offers an aesthetic inspired by the founders’ childhood memories, envisioned as life’s first act. Their collections blend tailoring, painted silks, tulle, and hybrid garments with sculpted volumes. Both punk and refined, the Act N°1 aesthetic combines artisanal rigor with a contemporary attitude. The construction of the pieces prioritizes direct workshop craftsmanship: torn materials, visible assembly, and a play of contrasts between the raw and the precious. Featured on the official Milan Fashion Week calendar, Luca Lin’s brand has established itself as a unique voice in young Italian design.

@maisonjsimone
Jude Ferrari, a graduate of Central Saint Martins, founded J.Simone in Paris in 2023 with a bold ambition to challenge conventional notions of taste. She describes the brand’s world as a “Cronut”: a fusion between the elegance of a Parisian croissant and the glittery playfulness of a sugar-coated donut. Rooted in responsible craftsmanship, J.Simone embraces sustainability through techniques such as upcycling and the use of deadstock fabrics. This approach reflects a desire to merge creativity, textile innovation, and environmental consciousness. J.Simone's wardrobe stands out for its vibrant colours and irreverent tone, embodying a spirit of fearless creativity.

@matho.paris
Founded by Léa Mathonière Fallot, a graduate of École Duperré and the Institut Français de la Mode, Matho reinterprets ready-to-wear through the sensuality of knitwear conceived as an alternative skin. Her work is rooted in an exploration of organic forms that trace and enhance the body’s lines. Matho combines the ancestral craft of knitting with experimental techniques such as 3D printing, sublimation, and pigment spraying, creating trompe-l’œil effects and hybrid textures. Recognized during its incubation at IFM’s Fashion Entrepreneurship Center with the AMI x IFM 2025 Prize, the brand embodies a modern and committed vision of fashion, where the rigor of craftsmanship meets sculptural elegance.

@meruert__tolegen
Born in Kazakhstan, Meruert Planul founded her eponymous brand in 2022, MERUERT TOLEGEN, presenting its debut collection in New York. A semifinalist for the LVMH Prize and a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2025, she opened her first boutique in SoHo that same year.
Nurtured by childhood memories of Almaty, Meruert builds a creative language rooted in construction and craftsmanship. This is expressed through sculpted silhouettes, meticulously crafted corsetry, and materials selected for their rigidity and hold. The designer’s sensibility, forged between two cultures, shines through an aesthetic that seamlessly articulates structural rigor and delicate gestures.

@riz_poli
Chen Xu graduated from ESMOD Paris in 2016. He began his career at Y/Project alongside Glenn Martens, a defining experience that shaped his eye for structure, volume, and deconstruction. In 2022, he launched Riz Poli in Paris. Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s poem “Ode to Bread”, the brand explores an urban and structured wardrobe, infused with intimate narratives and a keen sensitivity to everyday life. Each collection captures a fragment of lived experience, blending contemporary femininity, club culture, and social poetry to create a deeply personal yet collective journey. Through a multidisciplinary lens, Riz Poli positions fashion at the intersection of body, art, and society.

@sevali_
Sevali, founded in 2019 by Chilean designer Sebastian A. de Ruffray, is a Parisian brand that explores upcycling through a work of deconstruction and reinterpretation of garment codes. Using traditional techniques, the brand transforms existing materials into unique pieces. Each collection questions our relationship with clothing by incorporating imperfection as a design element. Sevali anchors its creation in experimentation, where the manufacturing process directly shapes the aesthetics of the garment.The brand champions local production and a thoughtful approach to sustainability.
VAUTRAIT

@vautrait
Yonathan Carmel founded Vautrait in 2021. The brand takes its name from one of its ancestors. The designer places craftsmanship and tailoring at the heart of his approach. Each piece is the fruit of traditional techniques and becomes a place where time, memory, and modernity meet. Preserving this know-how goes beyond the garment itself: it also means ensuring that the skills and knowledge of those who make it are passed on. Vautrait defends a fashion style that values authenticity and the natural patina of time. In September 2024, the brand joined the official calendar of Paris Fashion Week. That same year, it was a semi-finalist in the LVMH Prize.
VICTORIA VALETTE

@victoriavalette
A graduate of Central Saint Martins in London, Victoria Valette gained her initial experience at Louis Vuitton and Cacharel. Following her selection as a finalist in the 2021 Gucci Design Competition presented by SHOWstudio, she established her eponymous brand in Paris in 2024, receiving the prestigious ''Fabriqué à Paris" label the following year. Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy on water and the imagination, Victoria Valette articulates a creative language in which painting is translated into apparel. Within this narrative, floral elements occupy a central position. Rather than serving as a mere decorative motif, they function as a living presence that blurs the boundaries between the body, the garment, and the landscape.

A semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize in 2022, he infuses his designs with the ideas of movement. A former dancer, he finds inspiration in the living arts.
