Brands of
2019

Sensi Studio is one of the hottest emerging brands on Stylight, with over 100 times more clicks vs last year. Founded by designer Stephany Sensi in 2010, the label employs Ecuadorian artisans to create bags, hats and accessories, inspired by tradition but meeting modern taste. The most wanted item? This gorgeous handwoven straw bag that just screams “Holiday!”.

Created in 2016 by husband and wife duo Bessie and Oliver Corral, Arjé has quickly gained popularity thanks to its innovative concept: 3 collections a year, and the possibility of ordering pieces only for 2 weeks after the collection’s debut. This is crazy short, considering the standard order window in the ready-to-wear industry is normally 6 months! This “see-now-buy-now” method seems to be working, as the brand grew in clicks by +161% vs 2018. The most clicked piece: the Gaia silk shirt in ceylon yellow.

Scandi-fashion is here to slay: Copenhagen based Rotate has grown in clicks by +122% vs 2018. Ultra-feminine and über-trendy, the label created by Danish designer Birger Christensen is mostly known for its statement dresses. And, obviously, the most popular item this year was indeed a dress: this flowy snake print maxi dress is literally the embodiment of 2019.

Another Danish label has made our watchlist this year. Copenhagen native and LVMH Prize finalist Cecilie Bahnsen created her eponymous label in 2015, and quickly rose to success thanks to her unique take on fashion – basically the Scandi twist on French feminine style. Clicks have rose by +93% over the past year, and the most wanted piece is this Black Poplin Midi Dress.

Straight from Amsterdam, Wandler is one of the “It” brands of the year. Founded by Elza Wandler in 2017, the leather goods brand has become “Insta” famous thanks to its sleek aesthetic, high quality materials, and competitive prices. On Stylight the brand has grown by +53% in clicks over the year. The must have item? The Corsa bag, beloved by celebrities and influencers alike for its perfect size.

Founded in 2002, Swedish label Odd Molly is best known for its bold colours and playful patterns, but also for its focus on sustainability. Environmental impact is taken into account at each stage of the production cycle, from material sourcing to production, all the way to delivery. In 2019, the number of clicks for the brand’s products increased by a whopping +537%, making it the most wanted sustainable brand on our platform. The most popular product? A very summery floral print red midi dress.

French brand Veja was seen everywhere in 2019 – from Kate Middleton to Pam in accounting, everyone loves the label’s comfy, minimalistic, and organically sourced sneakers. Since its very creation over 15 years ago, Veja has put ecology and fair trade at the heart of its mission. The key word: transparency. The result: a global success, more than 3 million pairs sold, and on our platform a growth of over +200% vs 2018. The sneaker model our shoppers want the most? The Net Sustain V-10 – which is by no coincidence the one Meghan Markle was spotted wearing too.

Reformation was truly the revelation of 2019. The Cali label has the instant appeal of a fast-fashion brand, thanks to its trendy, contemporary styles and accessible pricing. The catch? The brand has sustainability as one of its core values: it uses plant-based or recycled materials, it invests in green infrastructure, and strives to minimise its environmental impact. Basically, the brand looks good and does good: so no wonder clicks grew by +92% vs 2018! The most beloved item by our shoppers: this emerald green, floral print midi dress – that you’ve probably seen on your Insta feed all summer long!

Taylor Swift is obsessed, and so are our shoppers: American brand Madewell grew by +98% in clicks over last year. Known for its denim collections, the brand is concentrating its efforts on green production, and has created the label “Do Well” to highlight its sustainable products. The most clicked item is a denim staple: an oversized jacket, perfect for looking cool while demonstrating at Fridays for Future.

London based label Ninety Percent should be on your radar. The brand’s name was chosen with intention: the label donates 90% of its profits to charitable causes – that customers can even pick for themselves. The company’s mantra is #DressBetter: better means sustainable but also ethical. The label utilises plant-based fibers, recycled materials or greener alternatives to conventional viscose (Tencel and EcoVera). It also only employs suppliers that operate under ethical codes of practice. The top clicked item: this white, maxi dress in organic jersey – just heavenly.
