Gauge81 WOMEN's CLOTHING, KNITWEAR

Established in 2019 by Colombian-born knitwear expert Monika Silva Michelsen, GAUGE81 (pronounced GO-SH eight-one) is a fashion brand for women, that challenges the contemporary status quo. Devised as an unapologetic celebration of femininity and driven by sensuality, this Amsterdam-based label bridges the gap between casual wear and evening wear. Made for women who are confident, bold, and a little adventurous, Michelsen’s pieces offer a healthy balance between sexy and toned-down. Taking inspiration from past decades, influential women of a certain moment and cinematography, GAUGE81 proposes transitional apparel that embodies the idea of contrast and experimentation with fabrics and silhouettes.
