Welcome to Halogen Clothing®, your destination for effortlessly chic, polished everyday style. As a Nordstrom-exclusive brand since 2005, we understand that looking and feeling your best shouldn’t require constant effort. Our thoughtfully made dresses, tops, pants and more allow you to get ready in a snap while still appearing perfectly pulled together.
Our Story
The Halogen® brand was founded in 2005 as an exclusive label for Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com. We saw a need in the market for sophisticated essentials that could seamlessly transition from day to night. Our designers sought to create versatile pieces that were polished yet uncomplicated – clothing that makes getting dressed each morning truly effortless.
In the early days, our offerings focused on refining wardrobe basics like blazers, trousers, blouses and knits. We quickly gained a loyal following of customers who loved our philosophy of pairing quality fabrics and flattering silhouettes with approachable price points.
Over the years, we have expanded into complete lifestyle collections that take the Halogen woman from desk to dinner and everywhere in between. From cashmere sweaters to cocktail dresses, our dedication to effortless sophistication remains at the core of our brand DNA.
Today, Halogen continues to design timeless, versatile clothing made from luxe fabrics like silk and lightweight cashmere. Our in-house team works closely with Nordstrom to offer sizes 00-16 in both misses and petite. We also pride ourselves on listening to customer feedback to continually improve fit and construction. While designed to feel current, our clothes focus on ease and wearability to transcend seasonal trends.
Modern, minimalist silhouettes in a neutral palette define our aesthetic, accented by pops of color and lively prints each season. We source globally while focusing production in countries with high standards for ethical and sustainable practices. As Halogen has grown, our commitment to creating covetable everyday style remains unchanged. We believe that confidence comes from both looking and feeling your best.
Our Design Philosophy
The Halogen design philosophy balances effortless polish, luxury fabrics and thoughtful details to create stylish everyday essentials. Our versatile pieces provide a pulled-together look that seamlessly transitions from morning meetings to evening cocktails.
We obsess over fit, fabric and construction so you can focus on looking flawless instead of fussing over your clothes. Our in-house team works closely with Nordstrom buyers to perfect the specs of each item. We fit our designs on real women, incorporating feedback to enhance comfort and flexibility.
High-quality fabrics in natural fibers like silk, cotton and cashmere elevate each Halogen piece. We love luxurious textures like double gauze cotton, lightweight cashmere and stretch silks that feel amazing on. Our fabric development team travels the world sourcing textiles that meet our standards for softness, drape and durability.
Thoughtful details provide visual interest without overcomplicating our uncomplicated silhouettes. Our designers artfully place pleats, gathers, buttons and hardware to flatter different figures. We also incorporate beautiful prints each season for an instant dose of polish.
Above all, Halogen clothes are made to move with you. Our stretch fabrics and clever construction allow for full range of motion. You never have to sacrifice comfort for style in our pieces designed for everyday elegance.
Our Commitment to Quality
At Halogen, exceptional quality is the foundation of our effortlessly polished aesthetic. Our in-house team works hands-on with our manufacturing partners to ensure our high standards are met.
We use luxury fabrics from mills in Italy, France and Japan. Fibers like silk and cashmere instantly elevate basics like t-shirts and sweaters. Cotton voile, gauze and lawn create beautiful drape and movement.
Garments are carefully constructed to maximize durability. Lined bodices provide structure while French seams and bound interior edges prevent fraying. Custom hardware stands up to daily wear and tear.
Before production, we fit our samples on models to perfect proportions and fit. Our technical designers translate feedback into adjusted patterns for consistent sizing. We rigorously inspect shipments ensuring colors, fabrics and construction meet our exact specifications.
Throughout design and production, we focus on creating investment pieces that stand the test of time. The resulting collections effortlessly transition from season to season as wardrobe staples.
Our Sustainability Efforts
At Halogen, environmental and social responsibility are central parts of our brand values. We partner with factories that share our commitment to ethical, sustainable practices.
We aim to source raw materials responsibly, using organic and recycled fibers when possible. Our cashmere comes from herds monitored by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance for ethical practices. We also utilize eco-friendly Tencel fibers in select styles.
Our factories comply with Nordstrom’s strict standards for fair wages, safe conditions and environmental stewardship. We partner with vendors invested in initiatives like water recycling and solar power to reduce environmental impact.
We strive for a transparent, traceable supply chain free of unauthorized subcontracting. We mandate regular on-site inspections of all factories. If issues arise, we work closely with each facility on corrective action plans.
By carefully monitoring sourcing, production and distribution, we do our part to provide customers with ethical, eco-friendly products made under safe, fair working conditions.
