On the Horizon...
Based in Miami with roots in Brazil, this brand began as what seemed like a vision from founders Cristina Mantilla and Duda Teixeira and has since expanded into the pages of Vogue.

From weaving lace out of tablecloths to reimagining denim with scraps, and redefining what mermaid jewelry looks like, this cult it girl brand is quickly becoming a fan favorite, selling out within days of launching on FWRD.
Grace Gui
Founded in 2023 by Grace Wang, the brand was born from an intimate ritual of raising silkworms and caring for her angora rabbit; an ode to her Chinese heritage that reimagines the very boundaries of textile production. Working with natural dyes extracted from plants and minerals, Wang transforms raw materials into singular knitwear pieces. Once the silkworms emerge as moths, she gathers the empty cocoons, boils them, and carefully teases the strands of silk apart with chopsticks, a process as delicate as it is poetic. The result: ethereal creations that feel as though they've drifted from the pages of a fairytale.
Lado Bokuchava
Founded in 2017, this Georgian fashion label fuses sharp sophistication with an urban edge, distinguished by its unconventional cuts and piercing-inspired motifs. Challenging the boundaries of conventional silhouettes, the brand reimagines tailoring with a rebellious streak—where elegance meets provocation. Best described as "punk rock princess," its aesthetic transforms the basic into the bold, offering an elevated uniform for those unafraid to disrupt the expected.
