SS24: NEW BRANDS TO LN-CC 

AYA MUSE

Contemporary design fused with a provocative thrill of slash cut-outs and hip-skimming waistlines; Aya Muse is adept at seamlessly challenging the status quo. Designed in the heart of Los Angeles, the label's name derives from the flawless unification of the Japanese word meaning beautiful and the Greek word for inspiration. A staple for the model-off-duty, their collection of gauzy knits, tailored utility co-ords, and sculpting dresses are nothing short of sultry seduction.

Powerful silhouettes, engineered washes and amplified shoulders are some of the distinctive mannerisms of Greg Ross's design language. With a firm understanding of form and function, the former YEEZY designer channels his eponymous label into redefining clothing with an innovative outlook. Drawing from the vintage aesthetic of Southern California, the LA-based brand reimagines material constructs through the utilitarian charm of raw edges, lacing, padding and knotted details.
