New To Lane Crawford
Brands to Know
Words by Joey Wong
Bring on the colour this season and look to the new style stars at Lane Crawford to build a wardrobe that is all personality, all you.
Here to please, these just-in womenswear brands have been swept ashore. Join us as we trace them back to their respective cities.
STOCKHOLM: LISA YANG
When one imagines modernity, especially in relation to anything sartorially adjacent, cashmere is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. This is, however, LISA YANG’s uphill battle. Shuttling between Beijing and Stockholm, Yang designs for the well-travelled and discerning woman in pursuit of comfort and classics. You’ll be reaching for LISA YANG’s sumptuous knits today, tomorrow, and long into the future.
LONDON: SHOREDITCH SKI CLUB
SHOREDITCH SKI CLUB is a bit of a misnomer. There are no skis in sight, in fact, for it doesn’t subscribe to such whimsical fancies. It’s a collection of cool, eco-conscious winter wear made from recycled fibres, post-consumer plastic bottles, and fully-traceable, sustainably-sourced cashmere that can be worn on- or off-piste. Spot it at your neighbourhood watering hole, the beach, and everywhere in between. It’s a subversive love letter to city skyscrapers and alpine sun, and a rejection of clothing designed for one occasion and one occasion only.
NEW YORK: WARDROBE.NYC
Said Liza Minnelli of New York City: “If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere.” Ann the process of making it, there’s little reason why what you wear should complicate things. WARDROBE.NYC, the brainchild of stylist Christine Centenera and designer Josh Goot, was created to streamline and simplify. It’s not just the clothes that are timeless; it’s the way they’re sold, too. Full looks come bundled and styled.
AMSTERDAM: GAUGE81
There are a lot of things we’ve been missing lately. GAUGE81, founded by Monika Silva, fills a sartorial void: a going-out edit that has been coveted by the likes of Emily Ratajkowski and Selena Gomez. The Amsterdam-based brand offers a collection of solid colours and sensual cuts that is designed to sate a “renewed appetite in the marketplace for subdued glamour and the more minimalist style that thrived in the ’90s.” It’s time to welcome back after-dark shenanigans and questionable choices.
