For more than a decade, Ivy Oak has been building its world from Berlin. Julian Daynov sat down with founder and Creative Director Caroline Gentz to talk about the philosophy behind the brand – and the idea of creating clothes for women, rather than designing for just one type of woman.From the perfect white T-shirt, blazer and trench coat to bridal and occasion wear, Caroline’s approach is rooted in versatility. A suit isn’t only for the office; it can be for a first date. A dress doesn’t have to be reserved for one special occasion.

Creating pieces that feel timeless, considered and, above all, give the wearer confidence.
