5 Brands You Should Shop This Spring
You expand your style when you shop for new brands. There are a lot of reasons why you'd want to try new brands, but for me, it's the thrill of discovering something new. It's almost like a treasure hunt in fashion. I'm always looking for new styles, prints, and cuts. Now to spice up your spring style, I've rounded up five brands that you may not have heard of before. With male and female styles, these are five brands you should check out.
1. KIJUN
The name Kijun comes from the Korean word "standard," which means to rethink an idea of what is beautiful. Hyunwoo Kim and Myungjun Shin founded the Seoul-based brand in 2018 and imagine each new collection as a unique film with unique costuming. This brand's aesthetic draws inspiration from the street style of Seoul in the '80s and '90s, creating highly stylized yet wearable menswear pieces like chunky knits, printed tees, and chino shorts. Sculptural garments for everyday wear, Kijun reconfigures contemporary beauty with fresh and innovative ideas. It's available at SSENSE and I love the throwback vibes.
2. Allbirds
This newer brand has me obsessed. For those of you who aren't familiar with Allbirds, they make comfortable, sustainable shoes. It was founded in 2016 by Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger, and its headquarters are in San Francisco. Allbirds shoes are made from natural materials like merino wool, eucalyptus tree fiber, and sugarcane. Comfortable and stylish shoes with minimal environmental impact are what the company aims for. Their sneakers are perfect for casual wear and come in tons of colors.
3. Telfar
Founded in 2005 by Liberian-American fashion designer Telfar Clemens, Telfar is a fashion brand. Unisex clothing and accessories are the brand's specialty, and its mission is to create fashion that's affordable, functional, and stylish. A popular Telfar product is its "Shopping Bag," a vegan leather tote bag that comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Restocked bags sell out within minutes of being restocked, making them cult favorites. There's no doubt that the brand has made a name for itself in the apparel world as well as in the world of accessories thanks to its high-quality, relatively affordable accessories, and unique collaborations.
4. BOTH
This Parisian luxury shoe label emphasizes rubber's creative potential in its avant-garde version of timeless classics. By combining traditional naturally-occurring materials with contemporary production methods, both's rotating roster of collaborators offers a modern take on utilitarian aesthetics. It was a collaboration between a few international companies that helped bring this to life. The label masterfully shapes the polymers' natural plasticity to its desire, demonstrating technical innovation and expert craftsmanship.
I love the colors used with Collina Strada's designs. Hillary Taymour founded Collina Strada in 2009. Unique and sustainable designs often incorporate bold prints, vibrant colors, and innovative techniques. Hillary Taymour designs bright, loud, eye-catching separates. Sustainability and social awareness are also pillars of her brand. Models of all sizes, ages, and genders frequently appear in the brand's runway shows and campaigns, which emphasize inclusivity and diversity.
