The brand aims to question ways fashion can combat overconsumption and overproduction with better strides towards a zero-waste model.

The eponymous French brand Burc Akyol is a genderless clothing line defined as "a mixture of sexy and austerity." The high-quality garments are created with a made-to-order model and are sustainably produced when possible, combatting overconsumption and doing what it can to help better conserve our planet.

New York-based womenswear brand Diotima was founded by Rachel Scott, a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/rockhouse-jamaican-hotel-bella-hadid-hailey-baldwin-emily-ratajkowski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaican</a>-born designer who infuses her Caribbean roots into her design style.

The Dominican-American designer creates clothes that are sexy, structured, and powerful&mdash;for menswear, womenswear, and genderless categories.

Paolina Russo is an eponymous Canadian-born, London-based label specializing in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/sustainable-knitwear-fashion-shopping-cashmere-wool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">knitwear</a>. Russo's signature knits are crafted with reimagined traditional knitting techniques and imbue her creations with nostalgic touches.&nbsp;

Veronica Leoni is the creative behind QUIRA, an Italian-based womenswear label that is "a great story of artistic audacity, bold style, and playful elegance." Leoni has a strong penchant for tailoring with many of her looks taking on sharp yet unique silhouette structures.

Genderless-designed line Setchu was founded by Satoshi Kuwata, a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hermes-geta-bag-japanese-footwear-inspired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanese</a> designer that aims for the label to represent "the blending of Japanese and Western concepts - the compromise between the two cultures."
