Incoming: ASTRUM, Chopova Lowena, RRR123, MISBHV and Eifles
Five labels are on their way to ANSH46, and between them they cover a lot of ground: a Los Angeles concept line, a London womenswear studio built on Bulgarian craft, a rock-and-roll streetwear label, a Polish club-culture house and a graphic-tee brand that says almost nothing about itself. Here is what is coming, and why each one is worth your attention.
ASTRUM
ASTRUM is the concept line of Armanie Smith, who describes it as working at the intersection of global consumer culture and historic, left-field ideas. In practice that means utility first, then a quietly unconventional design language, kept deliberately simple. Expect washed textures, relaxed and oversized shapes, and graphics that hold back rather than shout: Americana stripped down to what matters. The house also stretches beyond clothing into functional accessories and even curated sound, which tells you how Smith thinks about the brand: less a logo, more a world. Shop ASTRUM.
Chopova Lowena
Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena met at Central Saint Martins and built a label that shouldn't work on paper: Bulgarian folk craft, eighties climbing gear and punk attitude, held together by carabiners and chunky leather belts. Their pleated patchwork kilts are the signature, made from deadstock and found textiles sourced in Bulgaria, which is why no two are quite alike. New pieces are coming in; for the full background, read our Chopova Lowena brand guide or shop Chopova Lowena.
RRR123 (RIVINGTON roi Rebis)
RRR123 is the label of Rivington Starchild, a former rock-and-roll frontman who moved from music to clothing in 2019. The name nods to his interest in alchemy: roi Rebis, roughly the king of opposites, the idea of two contrasting elements fused into one. The same goes for the clothes, which pull together the grit and speed of New York and the ease of Los Angeles. Think heavyweight oversized hoodies and tees with devotional, graphic-heavy artwork, statement outerwear and small runs with handmade details. The label has also worked with Fear of God on the INRI collection. Shop RRR123.
MISBHV
MISBHV came out of the Polish underground and still dresses for it: techno, nightlife and the energy of the room at 4 a.m. The label mixes streetwear with proper tailoring and sharp denim, and it has a way of making utilitarian pieces feel slightly dangerous. The new delivery continues that line. Get the story in our MISBHV brand guide, or go straight to shop MISBHV.
Eifles
Eifles is the most mysterious name on this list, and it likes it that way: there is barely any information about the brand or the people behind it. What speaks for it is the product. Eifles makes graphic T-shirts and hoodies that look like they have been worn for a decade on day one. Graphics are faded and cracked on purpose, the garments are fully cut and sewn for a boxy, slightly cropped fit, and a signature vintage wash gives every piece a lived-in finish. It has built a following among athletes and musicians almost entirely by word of mouth. Eifles is new to ANSH46; keep an eye on new arrivals.
At ANSH46
All five labels will be available online and in our store on the Van Oldenbarneveltstraat in Rotterdam. Quantities on the new pieces are limited, and sizes on the graphic tees and hoodies tend to go first. Browse new in for men and new in for women to see what has landed.
