1. Gabriela Hearst
Gabriela Hearst makes timeless pieces that are eco-conscious and sustainable for the modern woman. The Uruguayan designer emphasises that for her, luxury is about integrity and premium quality materials. Sustainable fabrics, 100 per cent biodegradable packaging and zero-waste policies—these initiatives, alongside Hearst's impeccable modern designs, have earned the brand the Pratt’s Fashion Visionary Award in 2018 and the 2016/2017 Womenswear International Woolmark Prize.
