Los Angeles is known for its laidback style and the sense of ease that comes with getting dressed in pretty much year-round sunshine. The brands that come out of L.A. often reflect this, such as Aya Muse. Started by Tina Rodiou in 2018, the label is reflective of what the founder herself wants to wear, designing things she couldn’t find in the current market.
Another defining aspect of the line is that it’s ethically made, with a focus on using recycled fabrics and eliminating single-use plastics. The Aya Muse website shares, “We work with carefully chosen manufacturers, who specialize in sustainable processes and strive to push the status quo of fashion. Our core mission is to produce long-lasting timeless pieces for a sustainable future. We prioritize quality over quantity; we use only the finest materials, creating designs that last and become staples in your closet. These carefully crafted garments will last the test of time, becoming timeless staples in a wardrobe.”
That approach extends to the way Rodiou shops and curates her own capsule wardrobe. Ahead, see Rodiou’s most-worn items and shop Aya Muse, available at Fwrd, Moda Operandi, Mytheresa, Revolve, Saks, Ssense, and more.
