The GAIA universe was founded in Copenhagen 2009 by Gaia Brandt. The eponymous label has a focus on bespoke knitwear and effeminate tailoring. Her love for hidden details, fostered by a desire to reinvent the female silhouette and fabrics, further shape the philosophy behind GAIA’s designs. The lush collections are entirely handmade and consist of one-off pieces, always in an exclusive controlled volume of garments. An array of clean silhouettes is contrasted by more expressive items, displaying quirky details in a fresh and appealing colour palette. The GAIA universe is one of novel expressions alluding to a determined and unmistakable expressive look. Lavish knits are carefully fused with selected vintage fabrics, subtly influenced by GAIA’s curious exploration of the textural composition of materials, qualities and weaving structures. GAIA evolves around the crossroads between the old and new, of exposure and luscious detailing, not always submerging on the surface. Hidden and elegantly cherished, a poetic and mysterious picture of our torrential day-to-day is presented on the premises that inspiration can be found in the faintest items, objects and encounters in the world and its artistic canvas.
