Clio Peppiatt launched her eponymous label in 2015, with an internship at Alexander McQueeen confirming her love of fashion and a passion for slow-fashion, hand-sewn embroidery. Her collections often include entire hand-sewn garments.

It was David Vail’s [IG] photograph’s of Clio Peppiatt’s fall 2022 campaign that caught AOC’s eye. Oliver Volquardsen styles models Nyaueth Riam and Vaughan Ollier in images that resonate as a scenes in a modern-day southern-nights play.
