Stouls

Nobody does leather and suede like Stouls. The French label’s contemporary staples – which frequently stun in a fusion of vibrant and muted hues – will serve as stylish building blocks for your modern wardrobe. The house has an affinity for sleek, clean silhouettes, which we think captures its contemporary outlook.

As an alumni of ESMOD, the Studio Berçot and New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology – and having worked at houses such as Balenciaga and Thierry Mugler – Aurélia Stouls certainly knows her craft. Her eponymous brand reworks leather until it’s impressively supple and smooth to create the most elegant, sensual silhouettes.
