We celebrate the British city’s talent for individual style by spotlighting London-based fashion brands at DOORS NYC.
GR LONDON PARIS
Gotal Ryam, founder of GR LONDON PARIS, writes her own rules by rethinking classic wardrobe staples with modern flair, fusing influences from her time living in Paris and now London, notably the vibrant district of Soho. After studying fashion drawing at the prestigious Central Saint Martins, she naturally progressed to bringing her beautiful sketches to life by making tailored separates with clean, minimalist lines. Think layered trench coats, cropped blazers and asymmetric coats. Shop GR LONDON PARIS here.
SEVDA LONDON
Informed by classic British style and the rich craftsmanship of founder Sevda’s Turkish heritage, SEVDA LONDON is a handbag and accessories designer in our edit of London fashion brands. Each bag is handmade by artisans from responsibly sourced Italian leather with polished hardware. They’re available in an array of colorful cross-body, top-handle and backpack styles to take you elegantly throughout the week - drape around the label’s eye-catching floral-print silk scarves to finish. Shop SEVDA LONDON here.
FALDAN
Founded by former UN Climate Negotiator Laura Hanning, FALDAN champions innovation and conscious design by making the world’s first foldable bag. Cleverly constructed geometric panels allow each style to compactly pack away into an iPhone-sized pouch, which can be brought out and expanded to carry your groceries, gym kit and laptop for days on the go - a more sustainable and long-lasting alternative to the throwaway plastic bag. Shop FALDAN here.
EXEMPLAR
Brother and sister Erdi and Cansu Bal both studied interior architecture which informs their innovative streetwear label EXEMPLAR, showcasing an edgy, yet minimalist take on sportswear and outdoors elements. Entirely self-trained in fashion, they explore each collection with concepts built around space and the environment. You’ll be reaching for their monochrome nylon coats and padded gilets time and time again. Shop EXEMPLAR here.
