Oscar Ouyang meets me at the entrance of his studio building on Hackney Road in East London. We follow him up staircases and around corners, through a winding succession of corridors lined with neighbouring studios. By the time we reach his door, I’m not sure I could find my way back alone.

Inside, a knitting machine slides back and forth, its steady rhythm accompanying the sweet smell of incense. In one corner, members of his team have gathered around books, one perched on a box, leafing through a magazine. Work continues around our arrival.

Glance around Fidan Novruzova’s office and you find yourself deep inside a wunderkammer of references and signs from the universe. The handle of an Art Deco vanity has a strange coincidence with a piece of jewellery from a previous season, and the book on the shelf has a serendipitous backstory too.

There is something about Paolina Russo that makes you want to be part of the gang. Canadian-born, half Filipina and half Italian, Russo grew up in Markham, Ontario, while her French co-founder Lucile Guilmard was raised in Fouras, a small seaside town on France’s Atlantic coast. Their London-based label draws on the things they grew up with far away from fashion capitals: arts and crafts, local sports, video games, music and the particular kind of imagination that comes from having to make your own fun.
