What is Blue Nude?
Blue Nude is a London fashion label that makes sustainable womenswear. The retailer Gather and See describes it as the London label painting slow fashion in colour. The name comes from Henri Matisse's Blue Nudes, the cut paper collages made late in his life.
History
The brand launched in 2021 and was founded by Katarina Protsack, who moved to London from rural Canada more than a decade earlier and previously worked as a fashion buyer.
Products and positioning
- Womenswear released in collections developed with visual artists, such as Vida Privada and Tarantula.
- Designs made in the founder's studio in East London.
- From the Vida Privada collection, everything is made in the UK.
Why it matters
Blue Nude combines small batch local production with artist collaboration, a model common among independent London labels. The source does not list other product categories.
The brand is also listed among London Fashion Week designers, and Gather and See, a retailer, runs a profile series on it, so the label appears in both fashion week and independent retail contexts.
