Elizabeth Kuzyk's label marries the luxury of slow fashion with the immediacy of ecommerce.
handmade in nubuck leather, suede, and hide. The boxy, classic-cool styles are made entirely in New York, inspired by the shapes of jackets worn by Amelia Earhart, James Dean, Patti Smith, and Lauren Hutton.
Kuzyk’s collection is sold direct to consumers, but hers is no Instagram-born, mass-marketed brand—prices start at $900 and go up to $2,700. The point is to marry the luxury of slow fashion with the immediacy of e-commerce. “I saw all of these exciting direct-to-consumer brands emerging, and I noticed that the timeless legacy pieces were largely disappearing,” she says. “I wanted to reintroduce wearable luxury and also remind consumers that we really only need a few key pieces in our wardrobes.
Her understanding of wearable, everyday garments with a distinct point of view came from a stint alongside Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Proenza Schouler. Kuzyk’s jackets are, in spirit, not unlike the most appealing Proenza Schouler collections: effortlessly cool and fashionably versatile.
Kuzyk’s output looks and feels like some fantastic, surprising haul of perfectly preserved vintage—a cropped leather bolero from the 1930s, a Western-style cowboy jacket circa the 1950s, or a suede hippie look from the 1970s, any of which might become a style staple for Kate Moss or Kaia Gerber. The designs have a sophisticated quality with just a touch of nostalgia, ensuring they don’t feel too trendy .
