Our Brand & Values
Human Highness is a luxury fashion brand that celebrates artistic vision and timeless beauty through bold elegance. We believe in creating statement pieces that empower and elevate all who wear them, offering sophisticated collections for both women and men.
Through carefully vetted partnerships with expert tailors across Europe and India, we transform meticulously selected organic linen and luxurious textiles into commanding silhouettes. Our thorough approach to choosing both premium materials and manufacturing partners ensures each piece embodies the highest standards of quality and sophistication.
Working closely with skilled artisans across multiple regions, we maintain an unwavering commitment to excellence in craftsmanship. Each Human Highness creation – from our signature capes to ready-to-wear collections – showcases the natural beauty of fine materials through distinctive details and dramatic elements, designed to complement both feminine and masculine wardrobes.
The brand was born out of the friendship of Tessy Antony De Nassau and Milli Maier, who met in London's vibrant fashion scene. Their shared vision and creative energy laid the foundation for what Human Highness represents today – bold, sophisticated designs that combine organic luxury with contemporary elegance for all. We believe in transparency and continuous growth, always striving to bring you thoughtfully crafted fashion that makes a statement.
Our collections feature everything from embellished pieces with sequins and feathers to everyday luxury in organic linen, all unified by our signature dramatic silhouettes and attention to detail. Each piece is created through strategic partnerships that ensure the highest quality while maintaining our commitment to organic materials and premium craftsmanship. From flowing capes to sophisticated trench coats, from elegant dresses to versatile jumpsuits, our designs transcend traditional gender boundaries to offer timeless luxury for everyone.
