Aganovich is a Whitechapel-based womenswear label launched in September 2005. The label is designed exclusively by Nana Aganovich but steeped in narrative and conceptual influences devised by Brooke Taylor. Inspirations range from Peter Ackroyd’s volatile vision of London to Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto.

Aganovich and Taylor met in 2002 and decided to create a project that somehow incorporated their respective passions.
Aganovich is a BA graduate of the Dansk Designskol and an MA graduate of Central Saint Martins and co-founder of the esteemed Missing Sock Studio in Hong Kong.
Taylor is a philosophy graduate and former essayist and contributor for international literary and fashion magazines including Purple Magazine, Dune, Ryuko Tsushin, Big Magazine, and Colors among others.
