GAUGE81 is an Amsterdam-based fashion label founded in 2019 by Colombian designer Monika Silva Michelsen. Originally conceived as a knitwear brand, GAUGE81 quickly evolved into a comprehensive contemporary label known for blurring the lines between evening and casual wear. The brand fills a gap in the market by offering minimal, clean, and hyper-feminine pieces that transition seamlessly from day to night, allowing women to bring glamour into their everyday lives. Drawing inspiration from '90s silhouettes, vintage Saint Laurent, and figures like Princess Diana, GAUGE81 creates pieces with playful proportions and striking angles. The brand's aesthetic merges Michelsen's Latin American heritage with Northern European minimalism, resulting in confident, bold designs that don't take themselves too seriously. With a mid-range luxury price point, GAUGE81 has become a celebrity favorite among stars like Selena Gomez and Kourtney Kardashian, establishing itself as a go-to for the modern, well-traveled woman.
