The world today is undergoing rapid shifts in every industry, from technology to politics, and these changes are also reflected in the fashion world—either with ultra-maximalist styles to signify disorder and disruption or, on the other end of the spectrum, with extreme minimalism as a coping mechanism to all the external chaos. This makes LoveShackFancy increasingly relevant in this age of volatility, as it offers a dreamy and more romantic take, one that caters to modern escapist fantasies in a softer way.
Here are five reasons to keep this brand on your radar.

1. It celebrates femininity
Too often women are not taken seriously when they embrace their feminine side. LoveShackFancy encourages women to be authentically feminine, and romanticise loving themselves for who they are. Instead of sticking to a single aesthetic, its designs range from cottagecore to Barbiecore. Since the brand’s inception in 2013, LoveShackFancy is widely recognised for its exquisite vintage-inspired florals and pastel flair, providing a safe haven for women from all walks of life.
2. The brand’s founder and creative director, Rebecca Hessel Cohen
Being a true romantic at heart, Rebecca wants everyone to feel inspired when they enter her stores. She mentions that “when someone walks into our stores, we want them to feel like they’re in a fairytale coming to life. We want them to feel excited, empowered, and ready to dress up. It’s a total girl world and we want it to be a truly magical experience for everyone who comes through.”
3. Its stores are romantic wonderlands
When one steps into a LoveShackFancy store, they will be greeted with dangling roses and tumbling wisteria, threadbare lace curtains, multiple layers of textures and textiles, and antique chandeliers, reminiscent of an perfectly imperfect 17th century wonderland. The shop is also filled with treasures that Rebecca found on her travels, including an antique Armoire and a one-of-a-kind hand-painted table, making each store unique to its location.
4. It engages in sustainable practices
LoveShackFancy aims to reuse its scrap fabrics by incorporating them into limited edition bags and bracelets, reducing the amount of textile waste. The brand is currently working with its partners to use vegetable dyes or dyes from natural waste, and organic fabrics for its clothes. Additionally, a majority of its products are shipped with biodegradable polybags, which reduces pollution and ecological harm.

For Rebecca, collaborations offer a platform for her brand to balance between exclusivity and hype, while introducing her unabashed femininity to a broad spectrum of products like activewear and shoes.
