A DETACHÉR Originally from Krakow, Poland, Mona Kowalska started designing for a number of Italian labels as well as running Sonia Rykiel's studio. Likening herself to more of a curator than a designer, Kowalska started her own brand in 1998 with little press or media attention. Possessing a refreshing attitude towards her line and industry as a whole, she is unapologetic in her loyalty to her aesthetic while amassing a quiet cult clientele. 
ADINA MILLS Traveling the country in a motor home which doubles as her studio,  Adina Mills has made incredible one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces for over five years by hand picking raw precious stones,  molding clay to form a band, and spray painting each ring. 
AESA A Brooklyn native, Randi Mates attended the Jewelry Arts Institute in Manhattan and trained in Greek and Roman metalworking techniques,  naming her line Aesa after a Greek personification of destiny.  Mates' designs blend metals, gems and semiprecious stones--gold, silver, bronze, pink and black pearl, sapphire, citrine, black diamond, and tourmaline--which she sources on annual trips to the Gem, Mineral and Fossil show in Tucson. Sculptural, totemic and raw, Aesa represents fine jewelry with a mysterious edge.

BAGGU Founded in early 2007 by the mother-daughter duo of Joan and Emily Sugihara, Baggu has come a long way in its short history.  The Williamsburg, Brooklyn based company has quickly expanded out from its original collection--the ripstop nylon bag based off the classic plastic grocery store bag, which is offered in eight colors--to a formidable and varied line of six different items that come in dozens of colors, prints and washes.

CARVEN Guillaume Henry is the current creative director for Carven, the French fashion house founded in 1945 by couturier Madame Carven.  With an approach that is simultaneously demure and confident, unassuming yet assured, Carven presents such seemingly disparate elements as form-conscious jersey dresses paired with conservative collared accessories.  The brand quietly commands attention from legions of chic young women who appreciate subtle substance and modern Parisienne style.
CHRISTIAN WIJNANTS Born in Brussels, Christian Wijnants studied fashion at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. After working for such designers as Dries Van Noten and Angelo Tarlazzi, Wijnants launched his own brand in 2003.  Drawing inspiration from the art world, Wijnants creates work that is unique in both its execution and in its articulation of beauty.
CHRISTOPHE LEMAIRE Twice the winner of the Andam price, Christophe Lemaire launched his own label in 1991, put it on hold in 2000, and relaunched it in 2006, simultaneously opening an intimate boutique in the neighborhood of Le Marais in Paris.  The ideal wardrobe is the perennial theme of Lemaire's collections, timeless yet precise garments for each one to mix according to the mood and moment to create a very personal uniform.  He solves the equation of a garment that is completely wearable for a diverse range of individuals looking for pieces both quiet and singular.
COSMIC WONDER LIGHT SOURCE Cosmic Wonder is a conceptual project initiated in 1997 by artist Yukinori Maeda.  It is composed of three distinct activities: Cosmic Wonder (artworks), Cosmic Wonder Light Source (fashion and lifestyle) and Cosmic Wonder Free Press (book and music publishing).  Cosmic Wonder Light Source was launched in 2007 and studies various aspects of light and weaves these ideas into the clothing.
DAMIR DOMA The Croatian-born designer grew up surrounded by toiles in his mother's atelier in Germany and later studied fashion in Munich and Berlin, where he graduated in 2004.  Examining the ephemeral quality of the human body, his designs encapsulate a measured study of proportion and melange of textures--divining a juxtaposition of rough and refined.  Silhouettes draw upon a myriad of inspirations from the worlds of art and architecture, foregoing embellishment and decoration for a purity of form.
DIEPPA RESTREPO Inspired by classic gentleman's style, Dieppa Restrepo is a sophisticated unisex collection of shoes founded by Columbian duo Andrea Vargas Dieppa and Elisa Restrepo.  Blurring the division between the sexes, the collection is refined, androgynous and elegant.  The shoe is the quintessential grown up sneaker: beautiful and simple enough for the chic and fashion-minded,
yet comfortable and durable enough for their contemporary urban lifestyle.

EATABLE OF MANY ORDERS The phrase "Eatable of Many Orders" comes from Kenji Miyazawa's "Restaurant of Many Orders." It is a story about a wild cat restaurant which gives orders to customers rather than taking orders from them.   Like the story, Eatable of Many Orders would like to present their products like food and its ingredients with aesthetic sense and sensibility.  The materials they choose often have very interesting stories to their process.

EMMANUELLE Founded by Thomas Chen, who honed his skills in the New York industry for a decade at various notable labels, most recently at Thakoon. Classic pieces are thoughtfully reconsidered and alternately assembled into distinct looks with subtle twists, such as the color combinations, the juxtaposition of textures, or the play on proportions.  The underlying idea is foundational: to integrate each separate piece into a wardrobe that is intra-collection and inter-seasonal--a continuity that is style over trends.
ELENA ESTAUN Elena Estaun started designing jewelry by experimenting with diverse and unusual materials to create distinctive shapes and silhouettes, as a youth in Barcelona.  After studying fashion and jewelry design at St. Martin's School of Design in London and Parson School of Design in New York, she has developed a singular personal brand.   She believes that the power of jewelry comes from the fusion of the beauty of ones body and the elegance of the design.

HANNAHK With a background in fine art jewelry making, Hannah Keefe works with various metals and soldering techniques to create unique and individual piece that go well beyond the realm of jewelry. Recalling ethnographic textiles, beadwork patterns, and modernist weavings each piece is a laborious construction with special attention to balance and weight, color gradients and a sculptural identity. The shapes created by the solder give the work its structure, and creates the dynamic of control and release, of freezing and thawing, of hard and soft.

The avarcas of today still carry many of the characteristics of those worn since the beginning: a classic tire sole, a fine suede inner lining, greased leather outer and a hidden stitch.

ROCHAS
SAMMA Hanna Sandin founded SAMMA in 2009.  The jewelry line developed out of Sandin’s work in sculpture and is defined by a stripped down vocabulary of form: elemental lines and simplified shapes cast in non-precious materials-brass, bronze, copper-combine and repeat, while slight variations and irregularities, a result of each piece being handmade, add nuance, warmth and tactility.

Each piece of jewelry emulates the irregularity of rock and the refined elegance of plants and leaves. She uses recycled silver and gold, the metal lends itself to endless transformation, which is as inspiering as it is environmentally conscious. The process involves more sculpting than constructing which allows the jewelry to evolve and come to life.
