Brands Like Magda Butrym: 4 Designers to Know

If you love Magda Butrym for its romance, its hand-formed roses and that couture-adjacent cut, a handful of designers work in the same register. None of them copies the rose, the signature is the designer’s own, but each shares the appetite for florals, sculptural shape and occasion-ready femininity. These four are all stocked at Coveti, so you can cross-shop them in one place.

Erdem

The closest match for the romantic, floral side of Magda Butrym. Erdem Moralioglu builds collections around botanical prints, lace and a very English sense of couture, with the kind of dresses that suit a wedding and a gallery opening. Where Butrym hand-forms a rose, Erdem prints and embroiders the garden, and the result is just as considered. Shop Erdem at Coveti.

Zimmermann

For the resort and warm-weather end of the wardrobe, Zimmermann is the natural alternative. The Australian house shares Butrym’s love of feminine volume, florals and pretty detail, applied to broderie dresses, swim and holiday pieces. It reads softer and more sun-bleached than Butrym’s saturated palette, and it suits a lighter, travel-led wardrobe. Shop Zimmermann at Coveti.

Alexandre Vauthier

If the corseted, sculptural Butrym is what draws you, the Parisian house of Alexandre Vauthier sits in the same world. Vauthier is a couture-trained name known for sharp tailoring, body-conscious evening dresses and a confident, sensual line. It is the more overtly glamorous of the two, and the place to look for a statement occasion dress. Shop Alexandre Vauthier at Coveti.

Rotate Birger Christensen

For the party-dressing instinct at a friendlier price, Rotate is the Copenhagen label to know. It shares Butrym’s taste for embellishment, ruching and statement occasion pieces, with a playful Scandi edge. It will not give you the hand-formed appliqué and the couture fibres, but it scratches the same going-out itch. Shop Rotate at Coveti.

Which one is for you

Reach for Erdem if you want the romance and the florals, Zimmermann for resort and holiday dressing, Alexandre Vauthier for sculptural evening glamour, and Rotate for party pieces that cost less.
