About From The Labels

From The Labels (FTL) is a global directory dedicated to independent fashion brands shaping the future of fashion. We exist to make discovery easier in an industry that is increasingly crowded, fast-moving, and often opaque. By curating brands across values, craft, materials, and design philosophy, From The Labels helps people find fashion that aligns with how they want to dress and what they care about.

Founded with a clear focus on structure and clarity, From The Labels brings together thousands of independent brands from around the world. Our platform spans fashion, jewellery, beauty, and lifestyle, highlighting labels that range from emerging designers to established independent names. Each brand is organised through carefully built taxonomies, allowing users to explore fashion through lenses such as sustainability, craftsmanship, ethics, ownership, and style.

From The Labels reflects a modern view of fashion, one that values independence, transparency, and thoughtful creation. We believe good fashion does not belong to a single geography, aesthetic, or business model. Brands are created from cities, villages, studios, and homegrown workshops worldwide, and our role is to give them visibility without forcing them into rigid industry structures.

Rather than acting as a marketplace, From The Labels functions as a discovery and reference platform. We focus on presenting brand information clearly and consistently, helping users understand what a brand stands for, how it operates, and where it fits within the wider fashion landscape. This approach supports informed discovery while respecting each brand's independence and identity.

At its core, From The Labels is built on curation, trust, and long-term value. We aim to document and organise the independent fashion ecosystem as it grows, making it easier for conscious consumers, researchers, and industry professionals to navigate a more responsible and diverse fashion future.
