Fashion's A-List Has Really Latched Onto This NYC Label

Meet Protagonist. It’s the NYC label reinventing wardrobe classics for the modern woman.

For spring (which we’ve conveniently presented below for you to shop), there’s a flawless selection of shirting, effortless-looking white trousers you’ll wear from work to weekend, and an eye-catching navy ribbon print that feels perfectly seasonless. Protagonist's pieces are just right for those of you looking to invest in staples you’ll wear forever.
