The Fashion Team Share Their Favourite Small & Independent Brands
Caes
Saroop Sangha, Fashion Assistant
Launched in 2019, Caes is an Amsterdam based minimalist womenswear brand that only releases two collections a year to reinforce the intended longevity of the pieces. Both collections are full of timeless designs – many of which have a vintage flare to them. From high-waisted dad trousers to puffed sleeve maxi dresses, it’s definitely a brand to watch.

Monday Artwork
Emma Bigger, Senior Style Editor
Monday Artwork, a Warsaw-based fashion brand, embodies that carefree feminine attitude. The ideal blend of minimalism and extravagance, it makes unique clothes that are perfect for everyday wear. I find so many of the pieces are easy to style with my existing wardrobe staples.

Teurn Studios
Florence Eyres, Junior Shopping Editor
I recently discovered Teurn Studios through Instagram. As well as amazing leather, the brand has some really good quality staples – from knitwear to tailored trousers. I especially loved the feminine edge some of the pieces have, like the pink cashmere crewneck and the pointy glitter boots. The timeless black belt has gone straight to the top of my wish list too.

Le:Apt
Sapna Rao, Fashion, Beauty & LG Junior Editor & Broadcaster
Paris-based Le Apt merges contemporary sophistication with cool silhouettes – think wide-leg denim with a twist and oversized wool coats. Loved by influencers like @CarolineLin and @Elise.Bak, it’s a brand to go to if you’re looking for staples with an edge. Pieces I’ve got my eyes include the wide-leg twill trousers which would be perfect for work, as well as the knitted wool cardigan.

Viktoria Chan
Elaine Lloyd Jones, Senior Fashion & Shopping Editor
I discovered Swedish designer Viktoria Chan this year and instantly fell for her modern silhouettes and subtle femininity. I often go to a brand for the pieces it does well – for example, knits or tailoring – but with Viktoria Chan, I could build an entire wardrobe; there isn’t a piece I don’t love. From shearling jackets and wool coats to dresses and cashmere, every detail is considered. A simple crew neck is made to feel exceptional with big sleeves, a boxy shape and oversized rib collar. I love the modesty and drapes of the Amalia dress, and the long, tailored coats are giving The Row and Wardrobe NYC vibes. Everything is simple but elevated, versatile and surprisingly affordable.

Classic, feminine, elegant and refined, Rhune is all about hardworking wardrobe essentials for the modern woman. The quality is also exceptional and I really like that the brand has sustainability at its core.
