The trio’s collective creative ethos led to the launch of Gauge81 collections. Backed by PARROT, a Dutch- American fashion agency behind successful brands such as Bernadette and Wandler, Gauge81’s dresses and day-to evening wear collection instantly caught the eyes of every retailer from Net-a-Porter to Harrods. To maintain its contemporary approach, Gauge81 is constantly innovating by adopting digital pattern-making techniques and sourcing smarter fabrics, to make their sampling process more sustainable.
