Let's put the women back in womenswear.

Too often, womenswear is shaped by trends, appearances and what sells, leaving the woman who wears it as an afterthought.

Women are expected to choose between clothes that look beautiful and clothes that work for their lives. Between elegance and practicality. Between feeling special and feeling comfortable.

At REGRESS, we believe you shouldn't have to choose.

We create thoughtfully designed womenswear that brings together femininity, elegance and craftsmanship with comfort, versatility and practicality. Pieces designed to flatter, feel good and work for real life — season after season.

Every detail has a purpose. 

Every design begins with the woman who will wear it.

Because looking beautiful, feeling good and living well in your clothes should go hand in hand.

Womenswear should be designed around women.

regress (riˈgrɛs), verb.

to go back; to return to a former place or state.

When women are at the centre, less can do more.

Fashion produces clothing on an enormous scale, yet too often, the focus is on making more rather than making clothes women genuinely want to wear. 

Too much goes unsold, unworn or discarded.

At REGRESS, we believe the answer isn't simply to make less, but to make more considered choices about what we make in the first place.

At REGRESS, we start with what women actually need from their clothes. Pieces that make them feel good, work for their lives and are versatile enough to wear in many different ways.

We want to make clothes that don't end up forgotten at the back of a wardrobe, but become the ones you reach for again and again — pieces you rely on, love wearing and have no desire to replace.

Better fashion isn't about making more. 

It's about making what's worth making.

Meet our first piece.
