the Designers as store owners
As designers, we decided to run our own space to gain independence and creative freedom, allowing us to own our brands fully. This collaboration among us fosters mutual growth and success, aiming to serve as a platform to help others and as living proof that collaboration, rather than competition, is the key to success.
Tata Christiane - Known for avant-garde, whimsical designs, Tata Christiane blends street costume with deconstructed couture, using upcycled and vintage fabrics to create unique pieces that emphasize individuality and sustainability.
Fade Out Label - Founded by Andrea Bonfini, this brand specializes in unisex clothing made from deconstructed vintage materials and denim, embracing a "dump-to-hanger" ethos to create timeless, comfortable, and original pieces.
Elise Rolot - A Belgian designer based in Berlin, Elise transforms second-hand textiles into unique garments, prioritizing sustainability and craftsmanship.
Therapy Berlin - Founded by sisters Angie and Poli Aguirre, the brand focuses on creating unique, sustainable clothing and accessories using 90% second-hand or discarded materials. We emphasize inclusivity, body positivity, and gender fluidity, rejecting mainstream beauty standards and promoting ethical fashion practices.
