London-based label KNWLS rebranded and renamed from Charlotte Knowles in 2021 was first founded in 2017 by Charlotte Knowles and partner Alexandre Arsenault, having met while studying at Central Saint Martins.
Finding initial inspiration in underwear and corsetry, KNWLS has expanded to encompass an empowered but disruptive vision of femininity, dangerous and sensual. A tough, utilitarian sensibility where pieces can feel like armor challenges the modern feminine wardrobe.
