If you love Emilia Wickstead, three occasionwear labels sit close to it on the rail: Erdem, Alessandra Rich, and Oscar de la Renta. Here is how each compares.
Pre-Fall is the collection Ulla Johnson does best. Hand-loomed cotton, shibori through the season, the Los Angeles denim, and the Frankenthaler silks worth crossing over for.
Ulla Johnson gets shelved with the resort labels and the comparison falls apart once you look at how the clothes are made. Where Zimmermann, Johanna Ortiz, Alemais and Posse actually sit, and which one suits what you are buying for.
Ulla Johnson cuts to US numeric sizing and Coveti lists on the UK ladder, so a US 4 is a UK 8. The full conversion, the three sizing systems in one collection, and how to read the garment measurements.
Ulla Johnson founded her New York label in 1999 with five separates and five thousand dollars. Twenty-five years on it is still built around hand-loomed cloth. The designer, the artisan supply chain, the Los Angeles denim, and the Frankenthaler collaboration.
Darker polka dots, tweed doing the daytime work and Chantilly lace for black tie. Six pieces worth buying from the Alessandra Rich Fall Winter 2026 collection.
Who is Rachel Gilbert? The Sydney eveningwear designer, founded 2007, known for hand embellishment and internal corsetry. What she makes and where to buy it.
