Around this time every year, festival wear becomes a fashion talking point. For some brands though – among them, Australia-based Her Pony – this section of the clothing industry isn’t just a seasonal trend, but a year-round lifestyle.
Founded in 2010 by Lauren Stein, Her Pony describes its garments as “festival treasures”. There’s beaded fringing, shimmering sequins, and bold 60s and 70s-esque prints galore – it very much screams ‘music festival’! … Read More

Fabulously fun and floral, Jordan de Ruiter is a Canada-based lingerie and special occasion wear brand after my own heart. Her aesthetic is distinctively whimsical: from triangle bralettes to cupless corsets for layering over outerwear, to, most recently, Bridgerton-inspired ‘short stay’ bra tops, her pieces are perfectly on-trend while also feeling instantly recognizable as belonging to her brand.

Founded in Florence, Italy in 1932, this brand has been passed down from generation to generation, along with its traditional construction technique know-how. Today, Flora Lastraioli is owned by Matteo Pecchiolo, great grandson of … Read More
