Looking to step up from Drake's? These 5 brands share the aesthetic but bring elevated materials, construction and a higher price tier — ranked by overall similarity.
Independent New York label founded in 2013 by LaQuan Smith, known for body-conscious eveningwear with corsetry, cutouts and high slits.
Why it's similar. Both brands emphasize luxury, boldness in design, and share a preference for luxurious materials and true-to-size fits.
Milan label founded in 2016, known for 1970s-inflected party dressing: robe coats, sequined slip dresses and platform footwear.
Why it's similar. The Attico shares a luxury style, bold palette, and a focus on mixed materials, with a similar price segment to Drake's.
Italian luxury house known for animal prints, printed denim and body-conscious eveningwear, owned since 2019 by Hussain Sajwani's Vision Investments.
Why it's similar. An Italian luxury house built on animal prints and body-conscious eveningwear — far removed from Drake's soft tailoring, and only relevant if you want maximalist Italian glamour instead.
Paris haute couture house, majority-owned by Revolve Group since 2024, known for sharp-shouldered tailoring, crystal-flecked gowns and red-carpet glamour.
Why it's similar. Paris couture with sharp-shouldered tailoring; now majority-owned by Revolve Group after its 2024 rescue, and relaunched as Vauthier Paris, so it shares Drake's tailoring craft but none of its relaxed menswear brief.
London label founded in 2009 by Georgian designer David Koma, known for sculptural, cut-out, heavily embellished body-conscious eveningwear.
Why it's similar. London-based like Drake's, but built on sculptural, embellished body-conscious eveningwear; its SS26 Berlin menswear debut is the only real point of contact.
