About

Blackhorse Lane Ateliers is a sustainable UK craft denim label for men and women, founded in Walthamstow, East London, in 2016 by Han Ates. A second-generation Londoner of Turkish Kurdish heritage, Ates ran a tailored garment factory on Blackhorse Lane for more than 20 years and later opened a restaurant, before returning to his textile roots to revive London's lost tradition of denim making. Its jeans were the first produced in London in over 50 years. The label makes jeans in fits such as the E8 Slim Tapered, NW8 Heritage Slim and E5 Relaxed Tapered, alongside chore jackets, uniform shirts, linen shirts, chinos, T-shirts and knitwear. Jeans are made in-house at its Walthamstow atelier, with some other pieces made in Turkey and Portugal. It uses organic cotton and selvedge denim from Italy and Japan, runs an in-house R&D Wash Lab, offers a lifetime repair policy and grows Japanese indigo on its own allotment. Every team member is offered shared ownership, and local machinists are trained in the atelier. Blackhorse Lane Ateliers has a flagship shop at Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross and has been praised by Simon Crompton of Permanent Style.

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.
