Suffice it to say that Eskildsen takes an evolutionary approach to design. “This is becoming a touchpoint for me to build something that I think will last for a long time,” he said on a call. “I’m not focused on what the new thing is… I think now is the time to build on the things you’ve worked so hard to develop.”
The simplicity and certainty of the brand name suggests a focus on reimagined wardrobe pieces. (Eskildsen’s other B Corp-certified brand, founded in 2002, is called Designers Remix.)

The collection also brings together French- and Scandi-girl styles. Eskildsen has a house near the Fondation Méth in France, which he says reminds him somewhat of Denmark’s Louisiana. Taking inspiration from the colors of southern France, she has come up with a collection that combines polish and practicality.
