Market Moments: Kendra Duplantier
Kendra Duplantier is a Los Angeles-based independent women’s wear designer whose collections focus on timeless pieces that celebrate the female form. After graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design, she moved to New York City, where she lived and worked within the fashion industry for 10 years before launching her own line in 2019. The concept behind Duplantier’s label is “unique pieces to add to your wardrobe and cherish for years to come,” stemming from her own wardrobe of vintage and designer, where super-occasional pieces can live alongside the super-casual. Promoting slow and ethical fashion to wear season after season, a favorite piece of the designer’s is her “Bassi” cutout trousers featuring side pockets, which retail for $475.
Other standout pieces include the Maris slipdress that comes in a copper brown color with an open drape in the back and an adjustable slide slip and straps, which retails for $625, and the Lucia asymmetrical white fitted rib tank, retailing for $190. She is producing more colorways of existing styles and developing new pieces, which are set to be released in October.

Apartment 202 Carving Out a Space
Contemporary women’s wear brand Apartment 202 is carving out a niche with its eye-catching pieces. Founded by Miami native Brandee Godwin, who goes by BB professionally, the brand got its name from the designer’s first apartment in Los Angeles, which doubled as a design studio. BB gathers inspiration from interior design and gives subtle hints within pieces that reflect her personal style, like oversized bottoms and risqué tops. “The goal is to construct staple pieces that transcend time,” said BB. Bestsellers include the “Virgo” top — pentagon armor cut with a strappy back priced at $110 — and the “Gilda trousers,” featuring a relaxed boy cut, oversized paper-bag pockets and double-band waist priced at $375. New releases include the dreamers collection and Mermaid lagoon. A staple upcoming piece is a crystal T-shirt overlaid with the “Virgo” top.
