The trick to having your own style? Personalize and patent it by creating a one-of-a-kind apparel that only you possess. That’s how Gigi Hadid started the rise of customization in the middle of the year with her slew of personalized jackets, bombers and tops.
Individuality is now “in” fashion, with the possibilities of customization endless. Custom bags, made-to-order scarves and monogrammed leather jackets are just scraping the surface of the trend that has been adopted by big fashion houses like Proenza Schouler and Gucci. Here is a list of brands that offer a variety of customization services, ensuring that you will be able to find something to suit your style.
