About

ASCENO is a British resortwear label for women, founded in London in 2016 by Poppy Sexton-Wainwright. Sexton-Wainwright, who has a background in luxury fashion design, started the brand with chic silk pyjamas before growing it into resortwear and ready-to-wear. ASCENO describes its approach as effortless style for everyday, with pieces designed to elevate your downtime and move seamlessly between everyday life and vacation, each one offering versatility and elegant ease. The label is known for its signature silk pieces and relaxed designs, many named after cities. Its dresses include the Lyon Mini Slip, Geneva, Tallin Maxi and Lisbon Shirt Dress, and it also makes Rosa, London and Lazio trousers, the Prague Shirt, the Athens Robe, silk pyjamas and bikinis such as the Genoa, Portofino and Cannes. ASCENO produces in family-run factories in Portugal, Turkey and China, in small runs to reduce excess and waste. It mainly uses natural fibres such as organic linen, organic cotton and responsibly sourced silk, along with certified sustainable fabrics. ASCENO is an independent brand led by its founder, and it has raised money through a crowdfunding round that let customers become shareholders. It sells online and ships internationally.

Sydney Pimbley

UK · Est. 2019 · Luxury

Sydney Pimbley is an upcycled UK designer clothing label for women, founded in London in 2019 by designer Sydney Pimbley. A graduate of Central Saint Martins' BA Fashion Design with Knitwear and a recipient of the LVMH Grand Prix Scholarship, Pimbley worked in the couture studio of Maison Margiela, assisting John Galliano, before launching her slow fashion brand. Inspired by her Welsh heritage, she builds ethical luxury collections on the principles of sustainability and authenticity. The label creates dresses, skirts, trousers, shorts, jackets, tops and accessories, many of them one-of-a-kind or made in very small runs. Pieces are handmade in the United Kingdom, using fabrics, trims and embroidery collaged from vintage sources and finished with layers of hand detailing. Her upcycled approach reworks antique and vintage textiles such as silk, cotton and wool rather than relying on new fabric. After the birth of her first child in 2025, Pimbley dedicated her 2026 collection to celebrating the female body through lush antique fabrics. Sydney Pimbley's work has appeared in Vogue Italia, i-D, The Face, Teen Vogue, WWD, Sleek and Metal Magazine. She took part in P.LACE.S, a SHOWstudio and MoMu Antwerp lace exhibition and film.

Natasha Zinko

UK · Est. 2011 · Luxury

Natasha Zinko is a UK luxury designer streetwear label, founded in London in 2011 by designer Natasha Zinko. Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, Zinko graduated with honours in Art and Jewellery Design from Central Saint Martins and became an official member of the British Fashion Council in June 2015. Her label is known for bold, irreverent collections that mix streetwear, experimental silhouettes and statement denim. The range covers dresses, tops, jeans, trousers, shorts, jackets, hoodies and coats, including one-off and limited upcycled pieces. Clothing is made mainly in China and the United Kingdom, and the flagship store WRHS13, an NZ Space with the NATASHKINO matcha café, sits at 17 Brewer Street in Soho. Upcycling is central to the brand, which repurposes vintage garments, particularly denim, and works towards a near-zero-waste, closed-loop production cycle with plastic-free packaging. For its SS20 show, aluminium recycler Alutrade donated 500 cans that were refashioned into corsets, and in 2020 Zinko funded the first reduce-reuse-recycle initiative in Odessa. Natasha Zinko shows at London Fashion Week, where her SS27 show partnered with OnlyFans and featured Katie Price and Kelly Osbourne, and her AW26 show starred Mel B. She has also collaborated with Havaianas.

Rejina Pyo

UK · Est. 2014 · Luxury

Rejina Pyo is a UK designer luxury clothing label for women, founded in London in 2014 by Rejina Pyo. Born in Seoul, Pyo moved to London in 2008 and completed the MA Fashion Design programme at Central Saint Martins, where winning the Han Nefkens Award paved the way for her namesake brand. A designer and painter, she balances Korean and British sensibilities through sculptural silhouettes, unexpected details and an artful use of colour, designing for the modern woman. The label offers shirts, tops, jackets, skirts, trousers, dresses and knitwear, alongside shoes, bags and jewellery. Signature pieces include the Caprice and Robyn shirts, the Cleo taffeta jacket and the quilted Duvet Jacket. Many garments are made in South Korea, its alpaca knitwear is made entirely in Peru, and its jewellery is crafted in Thailand. Taking a slower, more intentional approach, the brand prioritises lower-impact materials, European-sourced fabrics and small-scale manufacturers to create pieces that last. Pyo has won the Samsung Fashion Design Fund and the British Fashion Award for Emerging Talent. The brand opened a Soho store in 2022 and Rejina Pyo 86, a Notting Hill space with homeware and art, in 2025.
