What’s it like for a designer to reach cult status? Surely Daniella Kallmeyer knows. For the past 10 years, the New York–based, South Africa–born designer of her namesake label has been outfitting New York’s most sophisticated and understated. The knowledge that she creates a killer three-piece suit or a popcorn-fabric, open-back dress is passed through word of mouth; she’s never staged a runway show or joined the CFDA.
Cheered on by her mentors—including Trevor Ballin, an alum of Proenza Schouler, Isaac Mizrahi, and Calvin Klein—she launched Kallmeyer in 2012. She made her first set of samples out of her Upper West Side studio and has “experienced incremental growth since then.” In 2017 she rented a showroom at 611 Broadway and in 2019 launched a pop-up turned permanent store at 83 Orchard Street in the Lower East Side.The store has now become the beating heart of the brand.

Choudhury discovered Kallmeyer through her manager, Kathy Atkinson. “I stopped by to pick her up, and when I walked into the store, I literally said, ‘Oh!’” Choudhury says.
