The Carry On Closet

A collection after my own heart. Love this super versatile label created by London College of Fashion students Renée Lacroix and Zahra Ash-Harper. What a great idea!

Whether it is for business, studies or simply leisure, nowadays many of us travel extensively. With the strict one-bag policy reinforced by lost-cost airlines, the need for a compact and versatile wardrobe is becoming essential. ‘Carry On Closet’ is a 10-piece capsule collection aimed at responding to the hectic lifestyle demands of cosmopolitan commuting professionals. Blouses become sleeveless, blazers turn into waistcoats, modular dresses zip and unzip to different attachments. Effortlessly stylish and practical, it all fits into a cabin-size suitcase. Bon voyage!

Antithesis is a slow fashion label founded by Renée Lacroix (MA Fashion and the Environment) and Zahra Ash-Harper (MA Fashion Entrepreneurship). It produces high quality, versatile and transeasonal capsule collections for urban, professional women on-the-go.

Antithesis is a ‘grass roots’ brand, breaking away from the fashion mainstream through slow design to create fashion sympathetic to the lifestyle needs of their cosmopolitan customers.

Antithesis embraces the spirit of enterprise, taking risks to innovate and set trends. We cherish individuality and want to challenge our audience to get creative with the styling of their wardrobes and discover new ways of wearing their garments
