Freedom Moses
Freedom Moses gives the Birk slides a fashion spin we haven’t seen it before. The waterproof sandals come in almost every shade, print and pattern possible. Plus, collabs with Johnathon Simkhai, Solid + Striped, and Saks Fifth Avenue make them even more lust-worthy.

Silvrlake Denim
Chances are good that your next pair of ‘it’ jeans is going to come from Silvrlake denim. The label, which takes its inspiration from its home base of Los Angeles, has perfected its vintage indigo denim. It’s the kind of investment pair that can last a lifetime.

Azeeza
This Chicago designer is one to watch. Azeeza’s namesake label has become known for her modern statement dresswear. Think lots of bold colours and cuts as striking as the people who wear them.
___
Aje
Coming from Down Under, Aje is popping up in closets all over Canada. It’s not surprising when you consider that its elevated essentials and cool classics are all done with a little twist and great attention to the small details.
___
Donni
Donni says it makes the type of clothes that are “easy to wear and hard to take off,” which sums it up precisely. Picture loungewear essentials like poplin shirts, button henleys, and sweats done so well shaped you’ll wear them well beyond the house.
___
Rhode
Rhode’s dresses are the kind that everyone wants to have in her closet. Its key styles come with billowy sleeves, pleated skirts, and with perennial shapes and colours, with unmistakable touches like the braided belt that wraps twice around the waist at just the right spot.
___
LoveShackFancy
Nobody does florals like Loveshackfancy. The super feminine collection designed by Rebecca Hessel Cohen has exploded with its flowy summer dresses, rainbow knits and bow-tied bathing suits. Its Superga sneaker collab means you can now wear it head to toe too.
