History
Founded by Symeon Pantelidis, a Central Saint Martins graduate, the brand emerged from the London creative scene in the early 2020s. It gained recognition for its contribution to the New London avant-garde movement, which prioritizes artisanal techniques over mass production. The label’s work is significant for its documentation of contemporary queer and alternative subcultures, often utilizing recycled materials and hand-finished details to challenge traditional notions of luxury within the fashion industry.
