From a designer with a Céline pedigree to sustainability out of Los Angeles, here are five labels keeping minimalism alive and well—and raising the bar on simplicity.
La Causa in Spanish translates to “the cause,” which means this LA brand, “makes quality garments with California ease, always under ethical conditions.” The mainly basics line is a few years old and brings a certain Cali cool to simple pieces. Fabrics are sourced “from trusted partners” and sewn in a Los Angeles factory. The core collection is offered in viscose chiffon, vintage and gauze jersey, and soft slip fabrics. The brand asks that you “free your inner tomboy and find your wistful romantic,” which we feel like we did in a fun, light-pink slip jumpsuit.
