Arlette Ess
Arlette Ess is a visual artist specialised in drawing. Her intricate work creates a sense of immersion and wonder, combining the beauty of nature with the imagery of our inner worlds. She trained with Alexander McQueen and is one of the artists contributing to the iconic scarves collections by Hermès Paris. Her business embraces a ‘buy less, buy better’ ethos, respecting resources and people. All products are manufactured in Europe using the best possible materials and processes, aiming for timelessness and substance in all aspects. The fashion line embodies the ‘slow fashion’ concept, with timeless pieces created for individuals who know what’s for them.

Diana Rikasari
DIANA RIKASARI is a fashion designer from Indonesia who is also a renowned book author focusing on the topic of ‘mindfulness’. Her inspirations are derived from life and her surroundings where she tends to inject humor and wit in her deliverables to create a fun, memorable and meaningful piece of work. Either through her fashion designs or writings, Diana Rikasari always tries to embed a message hoping that they can move and inspire others to do good and feel good. Never shy of colors, Diana Rikasari’s works carry a fun and youthful spirit while emphasising sustainable and ethical values. Her core fashion work revolves around recycling, upcycling and reimagining old and secondhand materials, turning waste into wearable fun.

Heiter Jewellery
Working from her studio in Hoxton, East London, since 1997, Mia Krstic crafts distinctive fine jewellery that evokes a sense of balance, harmony and power. Hand carved wax and precious metals feature within her design practice, reinforcing the human touch and relationship with nature which characterise Mia’s work, resulting in subtly sculptural pieces infused with emotion and adventure. High-profile enthusiasts of designs created by Mia over the years include Thandi Newton, Rihanna, Beverley Knight, Paloma Faith and Michelle Obama.

Hoh Pabissi
Hoh Pabissi is an independent fashion label focused on slow and ethical fashion. All of designs are hand crafted in their London studio. Known for their colourful and flamboyant dresses, Hoh Pabissi’s minimalist and gender fluid collection was featured in Helsinki’s ‘absolutely green’ Fashion Week this year.

Lux Linus
Lux Linus embrace sustainability as both a promise and a purpose. Designed in Zurich and produced in Portugal, their high-end ready-to-wear garments are crafted from premium linen and vibrant, colourful designs that express the hidden light within the client. Each piece is deeply inspired by meaningful phenomena and curated to resonate with beauty, vibrancy, and individuality. They design garments for  women and men that are mature about the different nuances that layer up to form a confident adult human, who knows their worth, understands their value, and also has embraced their flaws and is therefore confident and bold enough to stand out.

Michelle Lowe-Holder
Michelle Lowe-Holder has been making sustainable upcycled accessories for over a decade. Originally from Canada, she worked in the fashion and theatre industry in New York and had her own RTW fashion label from 2000- 2010 in London. In 2009 she was mentored by the newly opened Center for Sustainable Fashion at LCF and in AW 2010 started creating sustainable accessory collections. Experimenting with recycled materials, hand craft and technology, collections are showcased in “Fashion Portraits” celebrating diverse beauty and are exhibited in galleries and museums internationally.

Minnessak
Minnessak is a Swedish word translating to ‘memento’. Much like the story of what makes Minnessak bags unique, Jas Sembi has lived many lives. Born in Nairobi, his family uprooted to India then relocated again when he was aged 11, to London. Having shown a natural flair for Art at school, Jas honed his skills at college in London. Minnessak bags are designed and made to be used, held onto and thanks to the craft and quality of materials, cherished and loved for many years. Ultimately, Minnessak wants to see their sustainable bags to become your forever keepsakes.

Owen Edward Snaith
A romantic tale of a queer boy navigating his way through a Scottish fishing town. Snaith’s work explores his family heritage and experience growing up in a tight-knit community. A poetic thread weaves through his work, grounded in craftsmanship, collaboration, and community. His collaborations have seen the colliding of a rural collective of crafters and the birth of the Incentive tartan, a cloth deep-rooted in heritage and pride. Incentive is unapologetically shocking, creating an alternative narrative of Scottish freedom. Owen Edward Snaith is a Dunbar born designer and creative. Snaith graduated from the University of Westminster, showcasing his graduate collection ‘Incentive’ at LFW in 2022. Since graduating, his work has been featured as part of the V&A Dundee’s ‘Tartan’ exhibition, sparking a collaboration with drag icon Cheddar Gorgeous. In addition, Snaith has been featured in notable publications including The Guardian, Elle Italia, The Greatest Magazine, WWD, The Industry.fashion and 10Men.

Yang Du
Having spent a decade in London, gaining a BA in Fashion Print and an MA in Fashion Womenswear at Central Saint Martins, the Dalian-born fashion designer Yang Du has become one of the most promising young Chinese talents, making waves with her brightly colored, playful animal-inspired apparel and accessories. Having cut her teeth with designers like Vivienne Westwood, Giles Deacon and John Galliano, Yang struck out on her own, launching her eponymous label in 2009. Since then, Yang’s oversized t-shirts and tunics have gained a cult following. In 2011, Yang was included in the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN showcase, which has helped launch labels like Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Erdem since its introduction in 1993.
