ANNA OCTOBER

Independent womenswear label founded in Kyiv in 2010 by designer Anna October, who has been based in Paris since 2022 while keeping production in Ukraine with the same hand-knitters she has used for years. The line centres on bias-cut slip and cutout dresses, lingerie-inspired details, sheer knit sets and cashmere pieces, with minimal tailoring and an emphasis on the female gaze. October was an LVMH Prize finalist in 2014, joined the BoF 500 in 2022, and shows during Paris Fashion Week. Stocked by SSENSE, Moda Operandi and Net-a-Porter.
