Antithesis is a London-based womenswear label for urban professionals. Founded by London College of Fashion alumnae RenÊe Lacroix and Zahra Ash-Harper, we offer multi-functional capsule collections to contemporary women. Whether it’s a modular shift dress, a transformable blouse or a reversible overcoat, all our pieces are a thoughtful combination of style and function. We are a grass roots brand breaking away from the fashion mainstream through slow design by creating garment that are versatile, practical and, most importantly, timeless. Taking inspiration from working women who uphold frantic work/social lives, we want to help them make the transition between day and night, work and leisure, casual and formal. Our multi-functional pieces aim at contributing to a new consumerism philosophy advocating quality over quantity.

Whether it is for business, studies or simply leisure, nowadays many of us travel extensively. With the strict one-bag policy reinforced by lost-cost airlines, the need for a compact and versatile wardrobe is becoming essential. ‘Carry On Closet’ is a 10-piece capsule collection aimed at responding to the hectic lifestyle demands of cosmopolitan commuting professionals. Blouses become sleeveless, blazers turn into waistcoats, modular dresses zip and unzip to different attachments. Effortlessly stylish and practical, it all fits into a cabin-size suitcase. Bon voyage!
