About Anton & Maxine
Anton & Maxine is an artisan fashion brand based in Columbia, SC, dedicated to crafting elegant, bespoke-quality garments for individuals who embrace timelessness, individuality, and simplicity. Founded by Diko Pekdemir-Lewis in 2014, the brand is deeply influenced by her German-Turkish upbringing, where her tailor father and singer mother inspired in her a passion for craftsmanship and the transformative power of
well-made clothing.
At the core of Anton & Maxine is an affinity for black garments—symbols of elegance, sophistication, and effortlessly cool.
Our collections feature oversized silhouettes that embody freedom, minimalism, and quiet confidence. With a unisex approach, the designs reject traditional fashion norms, embracing an urban, modern aesthetic that defies fleeting trends.
Anton & Maxine operates on a made-to-order model, ensuring sustainability while minimizing overproduction. Our small-batch collections—ranging from XS to XL—are designed to endure beyond seasons, offering versatile pieces that seamlessly blend into daily life. Whether worn in the city, at work, or while traveling, our garments provide an understated yet powerful expression of style
