CLIO PEPPIATT

After graduating with a BA in Fashion Print and Womenswear from Ravensbourne university, Clio Peppiatt launched her label in 2014.

London based, her work is instantly identifiable through intricate handdrawn prints, meticulous attention to detail, a joyous use of colour and an underlying tongue in cheek sense of humour.

Since launching, Clio Peppiatt has been frequently featured in leading fashion press, including Elle, Grazia, iD and Hunger Magazine. Her previous collections have grabbed the attention of celebrities such as Charli XCX, Pixie Lott and Marina and The Diamonds, as well as key fashion informers such as Susie Lau.
Interested in the world of video gaming and Cos Play, her SS16 collection is one that brings together digital warrior princesses in the creation of her own tribe of video game girls.
Resonating with a new generation of female creatives and consumers, Clio Peppiatt’s ultimate aim is to create unique and whimsical clothing that can make women feel confident, happy and fearless.

“What’s my first fashion memory? Making mini outfits for my family of toy trolls.”

WHAT’S ON?

Collaborating with likeminded creatives with lots of energy and positive attitudes. Also anything OTT ultra girly and pop.

WHAT’S OFF?

A lack of racial diversity in fashion.

The independent global fashion showcase On | Off

The independent global fashion showcase On | Off was founded by Lee Lapthorne in 2003 as an alternative platform for talent during London Fashion Week. Providing a space for some of the world’s most innovative young designers, On | Off bridged the gap between on and off schedule designers, becoming the first of its kind. It went underground for a little while, while minimalism ruled the catwalks, but now it’s back, and with a brand new shiny website to boot.
To celebrate the return of the On|Off collective we look at our top 10 favourite moments, both past and present.

Charlie Le Mindu

Was there ever a more memorable off-schedule event than visionary hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu’s controversial A/W 11 show where he sent naked models walking the catwalk? Perhaps that one where he sent them down covered in fake blood to the sound of a screaming pig. Both courtesy of On | Off, and both held, if my memory serves correctly, at 9am. Strong.

ZANDRA RHODES

This season Dame Zandra Rhodes, London’s undisputed queen of colour, returned to fashion week after 10 years. However for A/W 12, On | Off organised Zandra’s retrospective, as well as her first show in Paris in 30 years. Always ahead of the curve.

YANG DU

On | Off have supported young womenswear designer Yang Du since 2009. Her surrealist pieces are some of our Fashion director Kim Howells’ favourites.

J.W. Anderson

On|Off first featured the work of LFW darling J Dubs after hosting an exhibition and catwalk display that celebrated 50 Years of Italian Vogue at the Royal Academy of Arts. His unique design aesthetic, that offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity, fit perfectly with their radical approach.

PAM HOGG

Fashion designer, music icon and all round creative force; Pam Hogg has been a recurrent feature of the fashion and music scene since the 1980s. Although alternating between fashion, film and music throughout her career, she showcased on the On|Off catwalk during 2009 with her trademark catsuits (the same year, she received a lifetime achievement award from the Scottish Fashion Council).

CLIO PEPPIATT

London based womenswear designer Clio Peppiatt only launched her label in 2014, but she has garnered much attention for her intricate hand-drawn prints, meticulous attention to detail, joyous use of colour and an underlying tongue in cheek sense of humour. On | Off are supporting her for S/S 16.

PETER PILOTTO

On|Off supported Peter Pilotto with their first ever London stand alone catwalk show in September 2007. The label was also awarded NEWGEN sponsorship to showcase within the London Fashion Week exhibition the same year.

Gareth Pugh

A designer instrumental in the emerging British fashion scene, Gareth Pugh’s debut stand-alone catwalk show was with On|Off in 2006 at the Royal Academy of Arts. A show that was supported by NEWGEN and attended by Anna Wintour, his sinister, cultish work is as impressive now as it was at his introduction.

ROBERT WUN

Robert Wun is a London based fashion designer who uses the interplay between silhouette and an abstract approach to composition as the centre of his design aesthetic. On | Off supported his S/S 16 presentation.

LOUISE GRAY

Hand embroiderer Louise Gray was quickly snapped up by Fashion East following her graduation from Central Saint Martins. She then went on to show with On|Off in for three seasons from 2010 to 2011.

Leyman Lahcine

Lunatic with a Fruit Cake

Published on 23 September 2015

Leyman Lahcine, born and raised in Grenoble, France, has, by way of New York, been living in London for almost two years and is steadily making a name for himself on the art scene. Since his debut showing at Pelicans and Parrots in Dalston last year, Lunatic with A Fruit Cake is his first with representation from Tania Wade, aka Hooligan Art Dealer, who has on her roster, amongst others, Noel Fielding, Harry Hill, Timothy Spall and Sigur Rós. Last night, at the (very) intimate Gallery Maison Bertaux, one of Soho’s oldest and finest establishments, we went to check out Lahcine’s unique and surreal work.
